I just recieved an email from Admiralmarkets

they state:
from the 15 April on, they have to deinstall some very cool Features due to an Annoucement from Metaquotes.
This may effect all kind of Instruments, you are using on your MT4 - from Indicators to EAs

Please ask your Broker and confirm this changes, if any and report them here

and if this is true, what should/can we do?

I got the first Idea from another Forum, where I posted this ( forex-tsd )

one solution could be:

just go into C:Usersyour user PC nameAppDataRoamingMetaQuotesMetaTrader 4 Terminalliveupdate and deny access to that folder then it wont update the terminal

will it work?

I hope they don't disable DLL imports

Edit: Here's a page with details.

MetaQuotes statement below:
Last month we warned that modification of distribution packages, implementation of third-party applications, as well as decreasing security level by unconditional activation of DLL calls are forbidden:
Unfortunately, some brokers and third-party developers do not pay attention to MetaQuotes Software Corp. license agreements implementing third-party components to the terminals and modifying distribution packages.
Therefore, we have to raise this issue and recall several conditions:
paragraph 2.3 of the license agreement for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 client terminals
No Modifications: You will not undertake, cause, permit or authorize the modification, translation into other languages, creation of derivative works, reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling or hacking of the MetaQuotes’ Software or any part thereof. You will also not create other software based on the MetaQuotes’ software.
subparagraph of the “Rights and Obligations of the Parties” section related to the Licensee of the license agreement for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 trading platforms
Not adapt, reproduce, enhance, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise modify or engage in any other similar manipulation of the System or any portion thereof without the Licensor’s express prior written approval.
We strongly oppose the inclusion of any DLL/EXE files in the client terminals, forced activation of DLL calls with changes in the program’s default settings, as well as modifying distribution packages.
We earnestly ask all our clients to withdraw from using modifications. Only conventional distributions are allowed for use.

so far - does it not say, that all 3. party developed Indicators and EA´s are violating Metaquote´s Terms of use, we all have accepted by clicking on a simple Bottom before the Installation ?

maybe its time to change to fxcm marketscope or other non metaquote tradeapplications?

Is it known if this is going to have any effect on ea's other then provided by brokers? My knowledge of ea's-dll/exe-dll/calls etc is not sufficient, hope anyone can explain in plain English what these changes really mean.

Thanks!

Brokers have modified the setup.exe file which you download on the broker website ( Download your Mt4 here ).
That is not allowed.

Has nothing to do with EAs which use dll´s . They will run as they did before.
If somebody disagrees, let us know.
