MetaQuotes Software Corp. announces the integration of its MetaTrader 5 Trading Platform with Knight Hotspot FX, an institutional foreign exchange ECN offering deep liquidity in more than 60 currency pairs plus gold and silver with speed, competitive pricing, full depth-of-book transparency and complete anonymity.
