    Looks like I ought to have made a request asking MetaQuotes to go jump off a bridge? Might have been more popular...
    So are you saying that even if I am using Tick Data Suite and encode data from my broker the MT4 backtesting is still inacurate?
    If MT4 is so poor, what are the best options for retail traders that can't code MQL? (Where there is third party logical generators to make EA's)

    Completely agree. Everyone: Don't encourage this organization and their appliions, for it is so full of ***; I simply cannot comprehend why folks are pushing this crap. Really can't. Must be people that do not actually understand, how awful those stuff is (i.e non-programmers). Truly, everything about this software is really a joke. Not saying that there's other, much better appliions around, though. All similar appliions lack, in 1 way or other, largely they apear to be equipped with fundamental users in your mind, not for automated or semi-automated trading. The technology in retail Foreign Exchange is a joke, or should I say ratail Foreign Exchange is a joke.

    In my case I send all data ( feed, account, trades and pins). I only require complete UI. Capture shows client and server ( left and right)

Other time frames, market time lines I understand, yes, that's what they're trying to do with MT5 as well as the big step would be to find broker approval / usage.... I have tried other platforms, C-trader, Tradingview, in browser stuff,...
    You can if you send mt4 indiors information to mt5. And you can use MT5 tools together with your MT4 account also ( feed included). I have a bridge for this ( not finished yet)

    would it be possible to make a similar program that would use all of the MT4 indiors available today?

    Can there be a time of copyright or any issues like this?

    It would be great if many indiors could be programmed into a new edition, eg. Additional time frames, market time lines

    I understand, yes, that is what they're attempting to perform with MT5

    as well as the big step is to find broker approval / usage....

    I've attempted other platforms, C-trader, Tradingview, in browser things, but like MT4

    Thanks

    Hi TGS,
    Yes, I know all the history and what they have said. Though when you've got a critical mass of users on a product that's been tagged as EOL and the user base does not change the EOL status also changes. Only consider Micro$oft...

    Considering https://www.allfxbrokers.com/forex-brokers, there is x193 MT4 and just x18 MT5, so to think MT4 is going away any time soon sounds somewhat absurd.

    I really don't understand why everyone is so poor, is it really that hard to just click on it?

    Hello kk100,
    I'm aware of all the ways to optimize it, thread affinity etc., and also we can branch of into unlimited other discussions about how/what/why.
    The fact remains that the vast majority of traders out there are stuck on MT4 with their broker and aren't technically proficient enough to do analysis coding.

    I'm trying to ask them since I believe there's a significant number of the customers who would appreciate and benefit from it.
    Given it's been so long since the release of MT5 it's similar to MetaQuotes can nevertheless claim this will damage their MT4 gt; MT5 broker converision rate.

    Why be a naysayer? What's to loose if everybody just signs that the petition and we see what comes of it?
