MT5 iOS app has released an update, bringing powerful features for traders using iPhones and iPads. The update brings visual trading reports, new technical indicators, and significant usability enhancements. The app now offers greater control over strategy analysis and decision-making.
Visual Trading Reports for Performance Analysis
The new version lets traders create comprehensive reports of their trading performance. To access this, users can go to the History section, tap the period selection icon, choose a timeframe, and then tap “Create a trade report.” The report is presented in a clean, visual format, organized into multiple tabs.
The Summary tab provides a full overview of trading activity over time. That includes overall profit and loss, total deposits and withdrawals, current balance, growth over the selected period, and any dividends received. The Profit/Loss section breaks down outcomes by trade type — manual trades, algorithmic strategies, and copy trading. Traders can view dynamic ratios between buy and sell positions, with their respective profitability in the Long/Short tab.
The Symbols section focuses on financial instruments. It spotlights where profits or losses occur most frequently, how often a trader engages with each symbol and displays trade volumes and frequency through graphs. Lastly, the Risks tab visualizes key risk metrics including drawdowns, deposit load, and the proportion of profitable versus losing trades.
New Analytical Tools Introduced
The update adds three new tools to support advanced market analysis. The ZigZag indicator is under trend indicators. It helps traders identify market waves by filtering out minor price movements. The Market Profile indicator is in the volume indicators section. It assists in recognizing key price levels based on traded volume.
