Metatrader 6 MT6 by Metaquotes

Now that MT5 is such a mess

What features would you like in MT6 for Xmas ?

1. Interportability of MT4 indicators , EAs and Libraries

2.DOM

1. Flexible time-frames
2. Built-in capability to create baskets
3. Native capability to create TF independent charts - RENKO/Range-Bars

the ideal MT6 would be to scrap MT5 = )

and make MT6 just the good old MT4 just more powerful , faster , lighter and with the MT5 multiple timeframes

I switched brokers primarily to get rid of Metatrader - doesn't matter if version 4 or 5. The main reason behind my unhappiness with that software is the lack of a proper programming language. I don't want to use some halfwitted language no one else uses. A programming languages' capital is the number and the quality of available libraries, development environments and documentation in various forms - that metaquotes crap can't even score at just one of these 3 very fundamental pillars.
So my wish is clear: support Java, C# or C++.
Oh, and make every part of the UI a detachable window and allow font scaling.

SO MT5 was Windows Vista Platform . Okay I have no expectations. Just let me run my indicators (Mt4) in Mt6 . That's it.
Let Metaquotes add all rocket sciences in new Mt6 I have no problem.

Hotkey to all shortcut

One click close all

MT6 must have features

1. Must run on Linux and Windows (Consider building on GTK+3 so platform independent at C++ speeds
2. User can type-in any function involving pairs for a chart so XAU/USD or XAG/USD or XAU/XAG or whatever
3. Should compete with TradingView.
4. Should have a built-in chat

Ability to Backtest much-much faster. I am using a very strong desktop and a 2015-laptop. And they take the same time (almost) for the same EA/set. So HDD, RAM, CPU, GPU don't matter (!?). (I also use TickDataSuite for the 'history' so my backtests are always "Every Tick.." and take a lot of time).

possibility to zoom out more than right now

the developers of MT needs to wake up to the present century and take a good look at Tradingview and find what's not there.

MT 4 is Windows 95

Tradingview is Windows 15

there's a LOT to catch up for the developers.

features:

1. Connection with programming languages - python, C++ etc etc
2. Auto Lot size calculator

possibility to define the time for a new bar in Daily timeframe
because as it is now, it opens at midnight when markets are closed
so it doesn't make sense

I LOVE MT5 with per tick price/spread data, cloud computing, Walk-Forward testing plus plenty of programming stuff that makes it excel (like easy calendar access, no python scraping needed). My MAIN issue is that I cant AUTOMATE BACKTESTING!! I want to be able to fire off backtests and be able to interact/read the results with an EA. Python programmers can easily execute strategies, read results, react and further process the data. - Automating optimization would allow me to test 100% hands-off systems.

Possibility to backtest with zero spread or any spread you like like in MT4.
this is really important for example if you want to test with bigger spreads or even without cost at all to have the right overview of the edge you got

also possibility tyo bypass the swaps and or commission costs

another great thing would be a way to transfer a setting to the MQ6 file
because often, I find a good setfile but I don't want to save it within a setfile, I want to hardcode it within the EA
and with a lot of parameters I can be tedious

I prefer to hardcode settings within the EA than using setfiles

also we need more history available on the charts when using smaller TF like M5

and of course MT4 compatibility

also when I backtest on MT5 and pause the backtest, then put my computer to sleep and log back in, the backtest is stopped.

this doesn't happen on MT4 : I can continue a backtest on MT4 after having logged off to sleep mode

also the ability to trade lower lots than 0.01.
you cannot trade multipair with a $1000 account

OR even switch to units of assets, like Oanda...I think it would be much better
