DislikedMetaQuotes DO care! Without traders, no brokers would exist. Without brokers, no MQ would exist......Ignored
DislikedBut why should they care? Trader wannabes are an expendable commodity. They crash and burn all the time, and there are always thousands of new rookies ready to sign up and chase that elusive life-changing amount, regardless of whether it's MT4, or MT5, or anything else. Anybody with $100 startup capital and an internet connection is a candidate.Ignored
DislikedAs long as the platform is free, user-friendly, and offers the promise of exponential profits, rookies don't care too much. Despite 95%+ of retail traders blowing their accounts and quitting, I read that the number of MT users is currently more than 20 million, and increasing all the time.Ignored
DislikedYou're talking like a programmer rather than a trader. Traders don't care about programming languages, spaghetti code, handling of arrays, default naming conventions. They just want to make money trading, without IT related hassles. Plug'n'play is good. The vast majority of broker clients are traders, not programmers.Ignored

DislikedDo you know how many brokers and market makers are using MT platforms? I read somewhere 1300 copies of MT servers have been licensed. Can that figure realistically handle 20 m users?Ignored
DislikedPersonally I've been waiting a long time for MQ to discontinue MT4, so everybody would focus on MT5 instead. Now we finally arrived there.Ignored
DislikedMT5 is completely pointless unless it supports the migration of custom MT4 indicators, EA's and scripts. They need to stop flogging a dead horse (MT5) and try and figure out a better solution.Ignored
DislikedThis discussion is useless. Owner decided MT4 is finished and platform will lose traction in the next months. Even here some people are asking for MT5 stuff. Nobody knows what platform will get MT4 users but i dont see the competency doing better than MT. And people have problems for change habits then MT5 look it will the winner at the endIgnored
Disliked{quote} Same evidence that mt3. They will kill mt4 as soon brokers accept change platform. Brokers made a lot of money using Metaquotes software. Then they will do more convenient for Metaquotes when they ready for do the jump. I'm sure this will happen in 2017Ignored

Disliked{quote} The horse nearing it's death is MT4. Coders have had more than enough time to review and update their coding in indicators, scripts and EAs.Ignored
DislikedSo which coders are going to look at my 8 - 10 custom indicators and scripts (some I've paid good money for) to recreate them in MT5? Or how time, effort and money do I need to spend on it? MT5 is as much a relic as MT4 which is why I say it's completely pointless. If MT5 was such a great product, people would gladly migrate to it without force.Ignored
