Broker-to-broker trading account management is incredibly time-consuming and complicated. Thankfully, MetaConnector lets you connect to multiple brokers simultaneously and automate your trading strategies with ease. In this article, we walk you through using MetaConnector to connect multiple brokers, simplify trading, and increase productivity.
MetaConnector is a powerful software tool made to fill the gap that exists between a trading platform and several brokers. It allows traders to automate order execution, portfolio handling, and trade copying from brokers across different brokers, all through a single interface.
