On June 1, 2010 MetaQuotes Software officially released MetaTrader 5 or MT5 the next version of its trading platform. It expanded the number of products that could be traded from just Forex to include and commodities. MT5 also includes a new version of the programming language called MQL5. The new MT5 client trading terminal differs in a number of ways from MT4 and was not backward compatible. Uptake of the new version was slow and by April 2011, MetaTrader had only 50 companies featuring the new version with over 400 companies remaining on MT4 mainly as a result of the lack of backward compatibility. Additionally, there has been an overall reluctance to adopt the new MQL5 programming language.
