The new version provides the possibility to view market statistics of financial instruments traded in the exchange execution mode. In order to view the statistics, open the menu of any symbol in Market Watch, and select 'Statistics'.

Operations with positions in the Trade tab have become more convenient. Now, a single tap on a position or order will reveal the detailed information and available actions, such as closing, modifying or increasing the position volume, as well as opening the chart of the position symbol.

The new MetaTrader 5 for iOS build 1605 provides the possibility to easily open preliminary brokerage accounts. Select "Open a real account" from the menu and find your broker in the list of servers. Fill in your personal details, attach two documents to confirm your identity and address, and submit the request. Your broker will open a real account for you and request additional information if necessary.

The new MetaTrader 5 iOS also features the optimized and redesigned email section:

• A preview of email attachments has been added.
• Up to five attachments can now be sent in one email (file size should not exceed 8 Mb).

Now trading history can be presented in the form of positions. Previously, the History tab contained only orders and deals. Now, it features positions as well. The trading platform collects data on deals related to a position and then combines the data into one record. The record contains:

• Position opening and closing time determined by the first and last trades
• Position volume. If the position was closed partially, the record contains the closed and initial volumes
• The weighted average open and close prices of the position
• The total financial result of deals related to the position

It is now much easier to transfer SSL certificates from the desktop platform to the mobile one. You no longer need iTunes to do that.

MetaTrader 5 allows you to add an extra protection to your account by using a certificate. Without the certificate, connection is impossible. If the certificate was created in the desktop version, you should transfer it to be able to enter your account via a mobile device.

To do this, open a desktop platform, right-click the necessary account in the Navigator window, and select Transfer. Set the certificate password which is known only to you, open the mobile platform, and connect to your account. You will be immediately offered to import the certificate.

Besides, the latest version features the migration dialog for accounts transferred from MetaTrader 4. If your account has been transferred to the 5th generation platform, you are warmly greeted, provided with information on the new features, and offered to change your password.

1. The trading platform now additionally supports the second position accounting system — Hedging. The new system allows opening multiple positions of the same financial instrument, including opposite positions. Now, the platform provides both exchange trading with the netting system and Forex trading with one of the two available systems.

   The new position accounting system is similar to that of MetaTrader 4, combined with all the advantages of the fifth-generation platform — execution of orders using multiple deals (including partial filling), stop-limit orders, and more.

   Update the platform right now to see how the hedging option works. When opening a new demo account, enable the \"Use hedge\" option. The option will be available if your broker's server has already been updated and configured.
