This is regarding & concerning those using the Metaquotes MT4. I received this on my Metaquotes MT4 Mailbox on March 5:

"On the 5th of April 2009 the "demo.metaquotes.net" server will be stopped. However, the History Center with the minute history will continue to operate. From this day on our company will discontinue using the demonstration server. Currently, the number of companies working with the MetaTrader 4 platform is so large that we do not see any reason in maintaining our own server.
Therefore we urge that all companies using our demo server as the feeder of quotes switch to another MetaTrader 4 server. For your reference, generally our server has been translating quotes from the demo server of Alpari."


Just FYI.

You seem to know a bit about MT4, I use MT4 from FXPro and my platform wants to update to the new version but there is an error when downloading and it stops, any suggestions??

Cheers

Alex

Yeah Alex, just a "bit".
I remember that happening to me too in the past.
Can u describe the problem in more detail?
have u experienced this problem in the past (with MT4 & other PC programs)?what version, by the way, are u gonna update to, version 221?


Try downloading it with no other programs on.
Check also if your firewall is causing any problem/blocking the MT4/FXPro (preventing proper Metatrader update; approve/enable FXPro/Metatrader in your firewall "white list").

Alternatively, u can try a demo from another broker. If it works better switch to it. sometimes one trader can encounter problems w/a specific MT4 broker, while others are ok with that same broker.
If u elect to do this, & want a similar timezone-broker as FXpro, u can try out these alternatives:
ForexGen, LiteForex/SIG, KVB Kunlun/ForexStar, WSD, Bulbrokers/STS MT4.
If needed, i'll give u their respective websites..

Hopefully this is a mnor glitch on your PC.
Good luck
