Disliked{quote} It's not with Oanda but MT4 platform linked with Oanda. That's all I would say about Oanda as it is the only relatively safe option available to US traders. Can't publicly throw dirt on them but they are NOT the sweethearts Oanda forum members preach (I don't visit their forums or FXCM's dailyFX... they are all filled with strategies that ultimately benefit the broker).Ignored
Disliked{quote} Thanks. Could you or someone here tell me if such back-end capabilities are also available via API. I would think not. I have not yet researched "MT4 bridge" functionality but there must be a way to bypass MT4 via FIX and send directly to the true counterparty (or LPs/prime brokerage). I see a lot of unregulated brokers also offer API trading which makes me wonder what else is out there that traders are not openly aware ofIgnored
Disliked{quote} Its easier. You pass MT4 feeds to MT5 using a OS protocol ( for example file mapping). As MT5 have custom symbols all data can be used by MT5 tools. Later you have send result to MT4 {image} {image}Ignored

Disliked{quote} Unfortunately, mql5 language (mt5) is not backwards compatible with mql4 (mt4) . All custom indicators and/or expert advisors have to be rewritten to run on mt5.Ignored
Disliked{quote} You are wrong. Language is same. Only some API are different ( basically orders API). But with small changes work out of boxIgnored
Disliked{quote} I know, but they won't work out of box. More or less, you have to make some cosmetic changes in the source code.Ignored
DislikedMt4 will work for a good at least 5, maybe even 10 more years. Do not panic... Metaquotes will likely lose lots of market share with that move. Or maybe not? It depends for whom mt4 was really built for? Brokers or traders? I know brokers are among the nicest people I have ever met in my life. Not sure about the traders...Ignored

Disliked{quote} You dont forget MT4 server fee is 4x times more expensive. Question is when brokers will have same MT4 account conditions. I think they are waiting have some plugins ported ( like virtual dealer). I readed a couple of companies are offering a full solution for MT5 to brokersIgnored
