MT5 offers advanced features, including a wide range of technical indicators, depth of market (DOM) functionality, and support for trading on multiple exchanges.

Upbit Launches “Experimental Lab” for Users to View Investment PerformanceDunamu, the fintech company operating South Korea’s leading crypto exchange Upbit, announced on Wednesday that Upbit has added a new feature called the Experimental Lab, which allows users to try out new functions before their official release.“Through the Experimental Lab, we will progressively introduce various features and actively gather user feedback to enhance our service experience,” the exchange said.Photo by Gilles Lambert on UnsplashEmpowering insightful investmentThe first feature unveiled through the Experimental Lab allows users to view the statistics of their investment performance — in other words, their profits and losses — for any given timeframe, all in one place. This includes cumulative return rates, the average amount of money they invested, and more. This is one of the most frequently requested updates, according to the exchange.The feature also provides information on three types of returns: simple return rate, time-weighted return rate, and money-weighted return rate.Simple return rate calculates the actual gains and losses relative to a user’s initial investment amount. Time-weighted return rate calculates an account’s performance over a specific period while ignoring the effects of external cash flows, such as timing and size. On the other hand, money-weighted return rate calculates investment performance while factoring in changes in external cash flows.Users interested in trying out Experimental Lab can find it in the “More” tab on the Upbit mobile app or the “My” tab on the PC site located at the bottom right corner of the page.Customer-centered philosophyThis move aligns with Upbit’s commitment to providing a better service experience by incorporating user feedback into their feature development and updating processes.

We will work on strengthening our collaboration further by onboarding a variety of XPLA games on GemPION as well,” said Cha Ji-hoon, CEO of BPMG.This comes after Japanese gaming company Gumi recently joined XPLA as a validator as well. XPLA is steadily increasing its number of validators from 50 to 80 this year to build a more robust and trustworthy ecosystem.
