Considering the relatively small size of the country, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is home to a large number of forex & CFD brokers. And as is common among forex brokers, many of them offer the classic trading platform MetaTrader 4 (MT4) to their clients.
MetaTrader 4 is in many ways a more advanced trading platform than other platforms that are normally available to the regular consumer market. For example, the platform makes it possible to backtest trading strategies to find out their past performance, something that is rarely available in consumer trading platforms. In addition, users can use the platform’s proprietary scripting language called MQL4 to code their own trading strategies and indicators.
