First Broker to Offer MetaTrader 5?

[Enivid]

I wonder what Forex broker will be first to offer MetaTrader 5 platform. My guess is that it will either FXOpen or Forex4you, because both of them are known for being very innovative in their approach to traders and both rely heavily on MetaTrader and its attractiveness.

What do you think? Or maybe all MT4 brokers will move to MT5 simultaneously immediately after its release?

I think this will be FXopen, they already have some discussion on their forum.

Actually, it was InstaForex. They started offering live MT5 accounts in September 2010.

Just curious, what is the essential different or advantage of MT-5 than MT-4. Personally, looks like MT-4 is enough for me

Better MQL coding language, which means better indicators and EAs, better strategy tester, better reporting tools, built-in economic calendar.
