Hi all,

is anybody else having an issue with the new build 500 of mt4 and the click and drag stops upgrade...

when a horizontal line is near/on the stop value it is near impossible to select...and move

does anyone have any idea how to disable the click and drag functionality?

thanks

Done... my code allowed me to drag a horizontal line as my desired stop location... and is rendered useless by this update...

time to try and work out an alternative...work around.

All you can do is not clicking upgrade and restart if you have already installed build 451 however I ve been told by metaquotes that it can not work with some brokers. (I think they BS me just to replace the old version but thats just my personal opinion).

It is correct that some brokers won't connect with build 451 anymore. Build 482 is still fine though. It's just a bit of a hassle keeping it on build 482!

The problems with horizontal lines will be gone with next build.
This is what Metaquotes Service Desk answered to my request:

In next build will be added option to drag'n'drop trade levels only with pressed 'Alt' key.
