Disliked{quote} feel better? On one hand I don't mind them separating the user data from the application, but why bury it down some stupid blind alley where nobody can find or access it easily, what was wrong with the users home directory... dumb dumb dumb, hence I use the portable flag and have all my stuff in the MT install directory still as I expect most people will.Ignored
You're right, I am very upset; Sorry about the expletives, it's very unusual for me, but they're not without good reason.
I tried the portable flag and it would not work on MQ4 509. Maybe it's in the wrong place, I put it in the icon target properties (like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\IBFX MT4\terminal.exe" /portable) maybe that's incorrect. In any case, I want nothing to do with mq5 but I am being force to go there without a no choice after using and building my trading systems for more than 12 years.
My disdain is because *they have no shame at all about destroying other peoples ability to feed themselves. It's obvious they can't make money trading themselves yet they want to write programs for us??? What a farce! It takes more than the intelligence and redundant, ability to code to make money trading than having the time to build a coding brain. It takes Vision. I make money trading and I do it using my own tools without their help.
If they want to expand their tools into some other place ie. MT5 and above... hell, turn it into oracle for all I care but leave what's working alone for crying out loud!
It is very obvious to me that they saw an opportunity to make money selling their codes to the masses. The problem was too many of those masses were doing just fine without them so first they created MT5, no one like it because it sucks so then they decided to not only create versions of MT4 similar to MT5 (following the same rules) but to FORCE US WHO LIKED VERSIONS < v5 TO COMPLY without warning by hard coding into the platforms lockouts preventing any way to save what was already working for us (at least some of us) and blame it on our inability to "secure our systems" ! What crap...
Just follow the money and anyone can see plain and clear what is really going on with those creeps at metaquotes.
I am upset and it is for very good reason. I wish everyone would rise up against those bastards and make them at least allow those of us who were very happy with MT4 less than v5 be allowed to continue with that system as it was.
period.
