Hi Pablo,
But how can be set the "generic" metatrader, downloaded from metatrader4.com, to work with specific broker ?
Once you have a login and password from the broker they usually have an IP address you can enter for the Server information on metatrader's login dialog box. Sometime they include the address in your welcome email and sometimes you have to go find it on their website. Google will also sometimes come up with the login info.

mr hanover,

i may be stepping out on a limb here, and i may have things twisted up, but i will try anyways to help you with this little software fiasco that you are having.

#1, let me restate that i have not taken the time to read your entire thread, so i have missed out on much...

but, i did notice where in your post to me where you stated that you are developing this package to run under windows 7? is that correct? and that you did not have any way to test and debug your software package under another operating system?

this is not a problem, sir.

simply announce that until further notice that this system is designed to run under windows seven and that support will only be provided for windows seven.

next.

and then i will want to see if we can get your code that you wrote using that automated code generator ported over to run in php perhaps.

everybody, plz remain patient, mr hanover will have things back under control shortly.

MR HANOVER MAY BE ANNOUNCING THAT THE SYSTEM WILL BE SUPPORTED VIA THE WINDOWS SEVEN OPERATING SYSTEM ONLY.

good luck.

do not ever forget, mr hanover, that you are driving the car when you are the developer.

do not ever allow your passengers to grab the steering wheel.

never.

happy coding,

zero/.

Hi David, sorry to see that VO Pro didn't go as well as I thought it would...I can't live without it now. I run Vista 32 bit on MB Trading's version of MT4 and have never had any problems...for what it's worth.
mr hanover,

i think that you should make a short list of the preferred operating systems that your package does run properly under and then just make it clear that you only support that list of operating systems.

so far:

windows seven
vista

so, do you see what i am suggesting?

dont screw up your whole day cuz some dumb bunny wants to run os/2 or whatever and he demands that you fix your software to run under his linux on his commodore 64, omg.

i promise you this, mr hanover, that if you will follow my lead, that i will pull you out of this mess and that you will shine like a brand new penny when we are finished.

i believe that you have a memo to pass out, sir.

zero/.

@slam.dunk:

Many thanks for your kind words and offer of help.

Everything is fine; all known problems have been solved.

VO-Pro was written on my Win XP computer and is designed to run on Win XP. In the past, potential buyers who ran other Windows (Vista, Win7, Win8) were encouraged to test VO-Pro on a demo account, and satisfy themselves that it runs 100% as they would expect, before purchasing it. So everybody who bought it is happy.

I'm no longer selling VO-Pro because, given the low purchase price, it's not worth my time and effort to maintain the product, or develop it any further. I am very busy working on other projects now.

However, I'm continuing to support existing clients, if they have questions or problems, or want to re-register VO-Pro to run on a different computer. They have paid for the product, and I am happy to honor my promise of continued service.

Hope that explains.

David

Dear Hanover,

I apologize if this thread is not the right place for my following question, but I have no other choice for trying to solve my problem.

I am a happy VO-PRO user for almost two years, but now I cant get it work on my new computer, which is by the way the third once since I have purchased VO-PRO. For your information, I haven't changed my MT4 trading account for which the VO-PRO licence has been issued.

Considering the above, I would like to ask if it is possible to get VO-PRO licenced for my new computer? If so, what should I do.

Many thanks!

Hi,

It's certainly OK to post here. I am still continuing to monitor this thread.

In regard to your new computer:

What version of Windows are you running?
Who is your br0ker, and what MT4 build (menu option: Help... About....)?

When you say VO doesn't run any more, what is the last screen that you see? Can you post a screenshot? Or failing that, what error message are you getting?

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

Thank you for your reply.

I am running Windows 8, my broker is Axitrader and the build of MT4 is 509.

VO-PRO is actually running on the new computer, but it doesn't let me change the default settings.

Kind regards,
Zoltan

Hi Zoltan,

All I can suggest is that you try reinstalling MT4, and then VO-Pro, in a different folder on the new computer. Make sure that this folder is NOT under the Program Files folder. For example, make it C:\AxiTrader

Otherwise, it's possible that VO doesn't run on Windows 8. I don't have a Windows 8 computer, hence I can't test it.

Anyway, try installing into a new folder, and see if that fixes the problem.

Good luck,
David

@all VO-Pro users:

Re: Windows 8

It seems that Windows 8 stores the Computer ID key differently in the registry than previous versions of Windows. This means that, if you upgrade to Windows 8, it is possible to register VO-Pro by MT4 account number only.

If you do upgrade to Windows 8, please e-mail me details of your MT4 account numbers, and I will send you a new registration file. If you're running demo account(s), please ask your br0ker to make them perpetual accounts. Otherwise, if the account expires monthly, you'll need to go through the registration process every month --- an unnecessary nuisance for both of us.

The alternative is to avoid upgrading to Windows 8.


Re: MT4 build 500

In build 500, MetaQuotes introduced single click ordering. Build 500 onward seems to conflict with VO-Pro, especially the VO Create New Order script, but I'm not certain under what conditions (Windows version, user access permission settings, etc). I've stopped using VO-Pro myself, when I noticed some orders were not being placed.

The single click ordering also includes single click closing of orders, and a facility to drag entry levels (for pending orders), SLs and TPs around. Which I guess means that the benefits offered by VO-Pro have been reduced, in any case.

For what it's worth...I have both a Windows 7 desktop and a Windows 8 laptop with VO Pro running on both...with an account number registration. Both are build 500+, and while the dragging of order lines on the chart does interfere somewhat, I still prefer to use VO Pro. I find that grabbing or double clicking on a line can be done a bit further away with the VO Pro lines than with the MT4 lines...so for example, if I want to select and move my stoploss with VO Pro, I double click a little above or below the line and I can still select and move the VO Pro line without the MT4 line getting in the way.

I occasionally experience the disappearing lines issue when trying to place an order, but it happens so rarely it is just a minor annoyance.

Off topic opinion: If you have a desktop and are thinking about "upgrading" to windows 8....don't. The only advantages Win 8 has are for touchscreens...if you don't have one, there is no reason to get Win 8. In fact Win 8 is slower and more of a pain to navigate than older versions on a regular desktop.

Jack,

Many thanks for your comments. I'm still running Win XP (!!), hence all of my notes about problems running VO on Win7 and Win8 merely reflect my own interpretation of feedback that I've received from other VO users. Windows gets more complex with each new release, and obviously every individual's computer setup is different, with the result that the feedback I get about which aspects of VO still work and which don't tend to vary significantly.

FWIW, I'm running Pepperstone MT4 build 509.

I also experienced the disappearing lines, and also situations where no order gets placed after clicking the Execute button. I believe these are timing issues in
the communication process between the VO Create New Order script and VOConsole.

I'll continue to do my best to support existing users, but it's becoming increasingly difficult.

Thanks again,
David

To all VO-Pro users:

MT4 build 574 (which is due for release on Feb 3, if I understand correctly) is likely to cause the death of VO-Pro. From what I've read, many indicators and EAs will need to be completely rewritten, to run on builds 574 onward. See these threads for the reasons why:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=466689
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=468134

If you want to continue using VO-Pro, I strongly advise against upgrading to any MT4 build beyond 509.
If your br0ker insists that you upgrade, all I can suggest is that you move your accounts to a different br0ker.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the new object oriented programming language that MetaQuotes is forcing upon programmers, hence I will not be able to rewrite VO-Pro, in order to have it continue to run correctly. IMO MetaQuotes' policy of not allowing forward compatibility of existing EAs/indicators totally stinks, but there's nothing that I can do about it. All I can say is that I hope you feel you've had good value for your $69, but it's now time to move on.

As most of my own forex trading endeavors involve the use of MT4 indicators and EAs, I've decided to quit forex. There are easier markets to trade, in any case.

Per MetaQuotes -

"...there is no need to worry about the operability of the previously developed trading robots and indicators..."

<fingers crossed> Hope this is true cuz I don't know about you but I can't afford to lose VO-Pro.

I hope that's not true, mate, but if so, I wish you well. And if so, would you consider opening the source of VO-Pro? Others may still be inclined to take it forward on a non-commercial basis.

Source code for VOConsole is written in Clarion, for which the compiler costs USD 2,000. Anybody wanting to maintain VOConsole would first need to buy the compiler from its manufacturer, Soft Velocity. Presumably this would deter folk from pursuing anything on a non-commercial basis, but I'm open to discussion, if anybody's interested.

Just downloaded the beta 579 to test and VO pro doesn't work. The folder structure is different on this new build and even when you try and move the scripts etc they don't execute on the charts.

Loads of indicators not working either.

Way to go Metatrader.

@everybody: please read post #874. And note Neil's comments in post #878.

Do NOT upgrade your MT4 beyond build 509, if you want to continue using VO-Pro.

Well tried again tonight and it seems VO-Pro does work. The build is now 582. Before I was trying to execute the scripts from favorites instead of common in the MT4 navigator as I have always done and for some reason they don't work from favorites now.

As I said the folder structure is different and you will need to move the files after installation, but it seems to be working as before.

Apologies for the confusion.
