Multi-Asset Trading: Expanding MetaTrader CRM Capabilities Beyond Forex
Multi-Asset Trading: Expanding MetaTrader CRM Capabilities Beyond Forex
This reflects a global trend: traders want to trade not only currencies, but also stocks, commodities, indices, and crypto assets on a single platform. Integrating multi-asset solutions into MetaTrader CRM is becoming a key factor in broker competitiveness.
Why Brokers Are Moving Beyond Forex
The forex market remains fundamental, but its margins are declining. According to Finance Magnates Intelligence , the share of brokers offering multi-asset solutions has grown from 42% in 2020 to 71% in 2025.The reasons are obvious:
Income diversification: clients are interested in trading Tesla shares, gold, or Bitcoin under the same conditions as EUR/USD.
Growing interest from institutional clients: funds and prop companies are demanding a unified platform for multi-market analytics.
Currency pair volatility is declining: traders are looking for new sources of movement.
Multi-Asset Trading: Expanding MetaTrader CRM Capabilities Beyond Forex
MetaTrader CRM as the center of a multi-asset infrastructure
Modern CRM systems for brokers already support integration with multiple trading servers—MT4, MT5, cTrader.This allows:
track all assets in a single interface ;
segment clients by assets (Forex, crypto, stock market);
launch automatic campaigns (e-mail, IB, bonus programs);
control margin requirements and leverage for each instrument.
MetaTrader 5's architecture natively supports a multi-asset model—from CFDs to futures. However, without a CRM, this functionality remains fragmented.
How to integrate Multi-Asset into an existing brokerage system
Liquidity and data provider analysis:New assets require stable quotes. Popular aggregators include: Integral, PrimeXM, OneZero, and Match-Trade.
Setting up MetaTrader 5
MQL5 servers allows you to connect up to 100 instruments through a single gateway. This provides flexibility when switching from Forex to stocks and commodities.
CRM integration:
The CRM receives data on client balances, orders, and activity via the API. Managers see all transactions in a single profile.
KYC/AML and compliance:
Different assets require different levels of verification. For example, commodity trading is regulated by MiFID II , while cryptocurrency trading is regulated by local laws.
Case Study: Multi-Asset Broker in 2025
FXGlobalHub , which started as a Forex broker, has expanded its offerings over the past year:60 currency pairs,
40 US shares,
12 commodity futures,
10 cryptocurrencies.
MetaTrader CRM allowed us to consolidate all data, automate KYC, and support various IB programs.
The result: a 28% increase in active clients and a 45% increase in trading volumes over 12 months.
Where Multi-Asset Trading Is in Demand
Asia (Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia): Growing interest in gold and crypto assets.Europe: Focus on regulation and institutional clients.
Middle East: Development of CFDs on oil and energy companies.
Latin America: Crypto Trading Is Exploding.
According to the Deloitte 2025 report , multi-asset trading in developing countries is growing at an average annual rate of 12-15% , and MetaTrader CRM is becoming the main management tool.
An expert's opinion
"Multi-asset solutions aren't just a marketing ploy, but a strategic necessity. A broker that doesn't offer stocks or crypto assets loses a client within the first three months,"
says Michael Carter.
Security and scalability
MetaTrader CRM allows you to manage risks at the portfolio level:limits on transaction volumes,
leverage control across asset classes,
margin call notifications,
Automatic blocking of suspicious transactions.
All this allows brokers to comply with the requirements of the FCA, CySEC, DFSA and other regulators.
The Future of the Multi-Asset Ecosystem
2025 marks a turning point: traders want a unified ecosystem where they can invest in everything from oil to Bitcoin.MetaTrader CRM is evolving from a client management tool into the core of the brokerage architecture.
Modules for:
generating reports by asset classes,
distribution of IB commissions,
integration with payment gateways.
Multi-Asset Trading isn't just a trend, it's the new industry norm.
MetaTrader CRM gives brokers the opportunity to expand beyond Forex and create an ecosystem where clients can manage multiple assets without ever leaving their accounts.
Companies that adapt now will become leaders by 2026.
