MT4 and MT5 come with a fixed set of timeframes. For many brokers and their clients, that list is sufficient. For those who need more granularity — custom intraday intervals, tick-level data, spread statistics across multiple time horizons — the standard platform capabilities stop short.
The Quote Service fills that gap. It stores, processes and serves candle and tick history through HTTP and WebSocket APIs, and extends the timeframe range beyond what MT4/5 natively supports through proprietary calculation algorithms.
What the Quote Service provides
Spread statistics and percentage price changes are calculated for each instrument across daily, weekly, monthly, 3-month, 6-month and annual scales. WebSocket support allows subscriptions that deliver real-time quotes and statistics per instrument as they update.
The service also supports the TradingView API — the charting standard used across a large part of the financial web. Quote history from MetaQuotes is broadcast directly to TradingView widgets, which means brokers can embed live charts on their website, in client personal cabinets, or in mobile interfaces without building a separate data layer.
