VO-Pro: Comprehensive visual order management system for MT4

Sorry to hear that the project has ended.

Hope you keep us informed of your future projects.

All the best...

Alex

David,

I am sorry to see the project end. I just want you to know that your efforts were sincerely appreciated. I would not give up on establishing some type of relationship with brokers. Most of the individuals who downloaded and tried the software, would not trade without it. I would love to stay informed of any upcoming projects as well as any other services that you offer.

My thouhts exactly. I think this app has tremendous value for anyone that has actually used it. Why it hasn't been as popular I think has to do with the title of the thread or something more simple. It should be a free app provided through a broker. In my experience, new brokers are the one who are more likely to offer a product like this to attract new clients.

Anyone else getting a corrupt archive message for the freeware link on page 1?

I tried 2 different programs and I'm getting this error. Maybe it's just me.

Alex

Just checked it out a minute ago...no problem.

I mean when extracting the archive. The file itself will download fine. Were you able to extract and install the app fully?

Thanks.

Did it again this time with installation...looks like OK.

Thanks Stan... I tried a third time and it is working fine now. Looks like I had a problem with my computer.

Thanks for the great software David, sorry it didn't work out like you planned, I've been using it for a few days and its a big help. I was planning on paying for it on the 24th so thanks for saving me a few bucks

Keep up the good work!

Glad to hear that you have it sorted.

Dear David,
I much appreciate your efforts with VO-Pro. The programme definitely has commercial merit , it is a matter of marketing it well.
Thanks again and keep in touch, particularly if you build the “management system” you had intended bundling with VO-Pro.
With regards
James

Hi all,

just came across this forum, I am really interested in this system. Seems that I have just missed it . Since I can not send Pm it would be appreciated if someone could post a download link again
thanks

so sad to hear that this project is ending so soon. this is one piece since i came in contact with that i can hardly do without. please let us know should you change your mind in the future.

David -

Although I haven't posted here (even on the forum) we have emailed on several occassions re. my testing of Vo-Pro.

I for one would like to donate something even though you have made Vo-Pro freeware.You have spent many, many hours developing this interface and answering so many users queries. It is now robust, flexible, sophisticated, very useable and provides something that is severely lacking in Metatrader. $69 was peanuts for what value it adds to a traders toolkit.

It seems ludicrous that this project should fall flat with no recompense for you. In addition to this you have provided some quite staggering indicators again for free. As a long time trader and forum surfer, I have never come across so many useful tools and information given out with such generosity by one person (hell - sounds a bit like Winston Churchill's speech after the 2nd World War!)

A suggestion. Anyone who has Vo-Pro suggest to David that he sets up a Paypal link. He really deserves recognition and recompense - and as much as anyone can afford.

Cheers.

Richard

PS I am not David's brother or any other relative!!

I completely agree. Anyone using this app can't do without it. I get the sense that most people aren't even aware of this app. I only found out about it because I was looking for a "visual order management" program. If I didn't Google those exact words, I wouldn't have even known that this product existed. I get the sense it may have something to do with the thread title or the name of the app. I can't see how this product could be of no interest considering how hard metatrader's order system is to use.

I think the main reason David decided to release it as freeware is that he originally promised to have all future updates be free. Since he only had about 100 people downloading the app, I think the effort of continually updating the app with new requests wasn't worth it at these low numbers. I think he should have released it for around $25-$50 "as-is" with no future updates so that he could get some value from his hard work.

I think the donation link is a good idea. I'll definitely be sending $50 if you decide to do that. It's the least I can do for such a great program.

Alex

Dear David,
Add me to the list of people happy to donate to the project. The programme makes MT4 complete.
James

Can we still obtain a copy of this software?

@rhtrader, @kosai, @jaggers78 (and all others who contributed to this thread):

Your kind comments, and offers of donations, are greatly appreciated; many thanks.
No donations are necessary; I don't expect to be paid by those who have contributed their valuable time and ideas to VO-Pro.

It would seem that the notion that VO-Pro offers value is contestable. I see that 3 out of 6 voters rate this thread as "terrible", which I feel has vindicated my decision to permanently withdraw VO-Pro from Forex Factory. (I would point out that one needs a minimum of 4 vouchers in order to register a vote, and that the FF administrators have requested that those who vote do so responsibly and with integrity.)

The free news indy that I wrote was downlaoded 34,000 times in 5-6 months.
VO-Pro (which I believe has equally useful application) was downloaded 110 times in around the same time.

This is disappointing, as 7 months and an estimated 800+ hours of work have gone in to the development of VO-Pro. If we include both the Clarion and MQL4 components, there are around 13,500 lines of source code. I believe that I made a genuine effort to create a quality product. If one is trading full lots, $69 is the equivalent of around 7 pips, hence I did not believe that the price was excessive. I had begun the design of Version 3, which - as a bare minimum - would have incorporated all of the trade management facilities included in MYFX. However, the lack of interest in version 2 persuaded me to abandon this possibility.

Since announcing VO-Pro as freeware, I've been inundated with PMs and e-mails by folk requesting a free copy. This has confirmed my belief that FF is plagued by many with a 'the world owes me something for nothing' mentality, and/or perhaps believe that as long as FX-related products remain commercial, they represent rip-offs or scams of some sort.

I don't want to appear a grumpy old man, but I've nonetheless reached the point where I no longer wish to contribute to Forex Factory. This is also partly because my time will soon be taken up by a new programming venture.

Thanks again for your support, and your help in testing VO-Pro. I hope that you continue to find the product useful. Please feel welcome to contact me privately if you have questions.

Regards,
David

Your observation is spot on.

I don't have enough vouchers, but I would have given you an Excellent rating

dont worry about them.. 60-70% are still kids...

cheers mate!
