MetaQuotes deprives proprietary firm FXIFY of access to trading platform
MetaQuotes, the developer of the popular MetaTrader platforms, has severed ties with FXIFY, a prop trading firm.
The decision, which effectively deprives FXIFY of access to MetaTrader's trading platforms, has raised concerns about the firm's ability to continue offering its services to clients, particularly in the U.S. market.
The decision by MetaQuotes to revoke FXIFY’s access to its trading platforms, including MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5), has left FXIFY scrambling to find alternative solutions for its traders. According to reports, the ban is linked to compliance and regulatory challenges, particularly in the U.S. market, where the regulatory environment has become increasingly stringent.

The move comes at a time when proprietary trading firms like FXIFY rely heavily on MetaTrader platforms due to their advanced charting tools, automated trading capabilities, and widespread adoption among retail and institutional traders alike.
FXIFY is set to move US traders to the DX platform. In addition, the proprietary company is preparing to launch FXIFY Futures, expanding the product range for its clients.
For traders who have grown accustomed to the features and functionalities of MetaTrader, this development could be a significant setback. Many traders have expressed concerns on social media platforms, noting the inconvenience and potential financial losses that could arise from having to transition to a new trading platform on short notice.
FXIFY has yet to release an official statement addressing the ban, but industry insiders suggest that the firm is actively exploring partnerships with other trading platform providers to mitigate the impact on its client base.
This incident highlights the increasing pressure on proprietary trading firms to comply with evolving regulatory standards, especially in markets like the United States. As regulators continue to tighten their grip on the financial industry, firms may face more frequent disruptions if they fail to align with regulatory expectations.
