Acuity Trading integrates news sentiment tools on MT4 as MetaQuotes goes all out on native news feeds

Fintech firm Acuity Trading has announced today the integration of its news sentiment trading tools on the popular MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform.

Online brokers subscribed to Acuity Trading will now be able to offer their clients using the MT4 platform access to Acuity’s news sentiment indicators via the Expert Advisor (EA) folder in the same way as other tools and indicators.

Available in multiple languages, Acuity’s indicators are turning what the company terms ‘infobesity’ into an advantage for traders by extracting sentiment from millions of financial news articles every day using sophisticated natural language processing technology.

the service provides a metric and visual cue of market mood towards any given asset that can be overlaid on the MT4 charting application, and is entering the realms of integration into MetaTrader 4 at a time at which MetaQuotes is going all out on news and analysis – the platform developer today having stated that it is adding news analysis by British trader Jarratt Davis as a service directly available from within the platform.

Andrew Lane, Managing Director of Acuity Trading today made a commercial statement on the launch:

“Our objective has always been to make news analytics technology more accessible for the retail market so the integration of our sentiment tools in to MT4 is a natural step in that direction.”

“Being such a popular platform for brokers we have invested in the development of the integration to include some key functionality such as quick trade link buttons and customisation features such as multi languages and branding adaptation so that traders have a better user experience.”

Acuity Trading considers this development to be the latest in a number of company developments in recent weeks including the launch of Acuity’s latest Market Alerts product and research findings that confirm the predictive capabilities of Acuity’s indicators.

Brad Alexander, VP of Sales at Acuity Trading stated

“With virtually a full pipeline of development for new clients in the coming months, integration of Acuity’s tools in to MT4 has been an important step that will allow faster access for brokers who do not require bespoke development.”
