beyond MT4<br />
Boston Technologies (BT) is<br />
expanding its portfolio of<br />
products to include not<br />
only STP solutions for the MT4<br />
<strong>com</strong>munity, including names like<br />
CitiFX Pro, FXCM, dbFX and<br />
MF Global, but a portfolio of<br />
solutions enabling BT to supply<br />

this step to widen our market<br />
focus. We are not de-focusing<br />
from MT4, we just think we can<br />
do a better job faster and cheaper<br />
in more areas than most brokers<br />
can themselves, simply by<br />
automating, defining robust,<br />
reliable processes, using<br />
economies of scale and sharing<br />
best practices," says George<br />
Popescu, CEO of the Boston<br />
