MetaTrader 5 Build 6230: Brokers Get 60+ New Trade Routing Rules, Traders Get a Smarter AI Assistant

MetaQuotes has announced MetaTrader 5 build 6230, scheduled for release on Friday, 25 September 2026 through the platform's Live Update system. The build is notable on two fronts: a large expansion of the server-side trade routing engine that brokers use to decide how client orders are handled, and another step forward for the built-in AI Assistant that traders use inside the terminal.

What changes for brokers

According to MetaQuotes, build 6230 adds more than 60 new conditions to the trade request routing engine. Brokers can now define routing rules based on account, position and order parameters, trading volumes and schedules. In practice this means a broker can segment order flow much more finely, for example sending orders above a certain volume, from a particular account group, or placed during specific hours to a different execution path than the rest of its flow.

Why this matters for traders

Routing rules are invisible to the end client, but they shape execution. Finer segmentation lets brokers separate hedged flow from flow they warehouse, apply different fill logic to large tickets, or treat news-time trading differently. None of this is new in principle, but a bigger rulebook makes it easier for a broker to run several execution models on a single MetaTrader 5 server. It is another reason traders should read a broker's order execution policy rather than assume all orders are treated the same way. BrokerBazaar's broker profiles record the execution model each broker publishes, and we flag where a broker has not disclosed one.

What changes for traders

The AI Assistant introduced in build 6060 earlier this summer continues to gain tools. In build 6230 it can:

Retrieve an Expert Advisor's input parameters and prepare them for a Strategy Tester run, simplifying testing and optimisation set-ups.

Launch Expert Advisors and scripts on charts, remove Expert Advisors and indicators, and check the current state of indicators, so it can prepare a working environment on its own.

Read the built-in Economic Calendar, including lists of countries and events, indicator values and specific records, so macroeconomic releases can be used alongside price data in analysis.

MetaQuotes says traders have processed 3 trillion tokens through the free MQL5 Lite model in the two months since AI features launched, up from the 1 trillion reported in mid-August. As always, the company notes that AI-generated output is for information only and not investment advice.

What changes for developers

The MQL5 language gains a Sort method for vectors and matrices (ascending or descending, and along a chosen axis for matrices), a Print method for matrices, and a broader set of operations for complex matrices and vectors, including Power, Kron, Inner, Outer, CorrCoef, Cov, Correlate and Convolve, plus Solve, LstSq, Inv and PInv for solving systems of equations. Build 6230 also adds support for .NET CoreCLR 8 and later, so libraries built for those runtimes can be imported into MQL5 programs.

Fixes

The desktop terminal fixes the display of some interface elements in the dark theme. The web terminal fixes a chart that scrolled left when a new bar appeared and an unspecified error when connecting to a trading account.

Recent MetaTrader 5 release history

Build 6230 follows a steady cadence of updates this year: build 6060 (23 July) introduced Model Context Protocol support and the AI Assistant; build 6090 (30 July) focused on stability; build 6140 (20 August) added new LLM providers and web terminal improvements; and build 6180 (3 September) let the assistant read Strategy Tester reports and logs.

How to get the update

The update is delivered automatically via Live Update once your broker's server supports the new build. Traders on unsupported older builds should update, as MetaQuotes ended support for legacy MT4 and MT5 versions in July 2025.
