Additionally, the platform is built with a classic MetaTrader approach in mind, making it highly compatible with MetaTrader systems. It uses familiar concepts such as lot-based trading, PnL calculations, and margin management formulas, ensuring that users migrating from MetaTrader find the transition seamless, both in terms of concepts and trading logic.
