is there a way to stop Mt4 from asking to update to new version?
I reinstaled version 213 as it is still more stable and faster then version 215.

Thank you niepce,

I renamed LiveUpdate.exe to LiveUpdate.bak
and worked fine not asking for update anymore.

it depends to the indicators you are using.
and I noticed another thing:
version 215 use more of the resources of the computer. If you want to check that. open your Mt4 and click Alt+Ctrl+Delete go to processes and check how much your Mt4 is using of the computer's memory. I noticed that 213 uses at least about 35% less then 215 version.
anyway I am satisfied with version 213 and will keep using it for now.

for those who want to keep using version 213 and are annoyed with the update issue when they start their Mt4 you can just move the file LiveUpdate from C:\Program Files\MetaTraderyourbroker and put it in another folder. When you wish to update your Mt4 just move back the file LiveUpdate to where it was.

I have disable the NEWS but messages keep on coming into the mail box. And each time it goes from the TRADE button to the MAIL button automatically. It is only rubbish they are mailling in. How can I disable it so that I don't get anymore of these unwanted mails in ?

Thanks

go to: Tools - options - server
uncheck the last one down: enable news.
this should work if not contact support of your broker. even if you are using them as demo.
