{quote} You can try my version of "keep session alive" script (and freely change it as it is open sourced), it has 0.1 lot by default: https://raw.github.com/SergeyKovalyo.../reconnect.mq4
Anyone here experience enormous MT4 logs and trade history by this and rooicol's method?
How can I remove excess trade history or logs?

My broker is not calling me, but my trading history is a mess and I can't look into my trades properly by an analyzing software. I think there are two options:

1. Get a deal with the broker and say "hey, please do not confirm this type of order and use your virtual dealer plug-in to reject this order so that those orders will not show up in my MT4 client history"

2. Many copiers not just one can emulate MT4 protcols and keep the temporary socket alive for continuous connection forever. Some clever guy in the world must have developed a plug-in or a special version of MT4 that is ready-to-use!
If many can do this with a complex copier then what's the problem to use it with a simple MT4 terminal? http://www.donnaforex.com/forum/inde...9070#msg209070

Note the reconnect script appears to run 24/7. Maybe it could be restricted to major sessions etc?

you can't use this 24/7, you will overload your broker's servers and they will most likely kick you out.
use it only when its necessary, few hours or minutes per day, no more

Interesting post has been made by Metaquotes regarding MT4 terminal build 555 on their public forum site:

Terminal: Changed the algorithm of placing trade requests. In previous builds, an additional network connection has been created when placing trade requests. This connection has remained active for some time after a last trade request was sent in order to provide fast sending of a large number of trade requests.

Now, when placing trade requests, all of them are passed via the main connection with the trade server. Thus, the time of processing the trade requests (especially the first one) has been considerably reduced as there is no need to wait for connection to the trade server being established any more. In order for the new processing algorithm to be operable, the trade server should also be updated - requests are still set in a separate connection on older trade servers.

Due to transition to the new model of requests processing, the ability to cancel the trade requests not yet accepted by the server (Cancel button in the trade request status dialog) has been disabled.

Does that mean we don't need to disturb the broker servers?
Had anyone experienced with the latest build?

I can confirm that the script becomes redundant with the most recent beta release (563).

Has your broker updated your version? I just checked mine and no go yet (still 509).

I am very interested in this idea, I read all posts and was about to download this EA until I got to the last


Edit: Sorry just saw it was still in test run. My EA's are off for next few weeks anyway. I will see how things progress but I may still try this EA just for interests sake.

2.restart.
3.new account open.you must select metaquote server.
4.If platform completed upddate, It will restart automatically.

lol took me about 40-50min to figure it out then came back here to see your reply. Got it, thanks though

I have a problem though. My EA's aren't showing up. An old cheepo (works with a special touch though ) but additionally Wallstreet EA that is very popular isn't showing up in the experts tab. Googled it but can't find fix, any suggestions?


Edit: I'm just guessing here but going from the geek chat in metaquotes I have a feeling that the program language is being changed from mql4 to mql5 making my EA's obsolete with this new build. There is a new folder "MQL4" where the sample EA's reside (MACD,MA) but adding my EA's to the same folder still has no result.
Sorry prob getting off subject now and will search ff for relevant thread. Aside to say I will likely load this EA now, thanks.

Hi. Yah I tried here though I don't have an "Advisors" folder if you have one? Putting the EA's here was still no result, I'm getting worried....

Something strange is going on. I tried attaching one of the sample EA's and tried to load an EA preset to clarify the MT4 location and instead of the taking me to the "Presets" folder in the MT4 as per norm I ended here:
C:\Users\mycomputername(edited)\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\B31FF970113C940E2FC91FC0D8CFB3F9\MQL4\Presets

I don't know enough about such things to know if something is going wrong....


Edit: If someone can just confirm they can run one or more EX4 programs (EA's) on this build (563) I'll know its a user problem and I will be able to go from there, thanks.

Looks like no forced update by Metaquotes this time!
My broker hasn't upgraded their server
Did anyone try to test the execution time? Is it really getting better now?

As I think someone mention earlier it's still in Beta testing stage but they will upgrade when it is fully tested no doubt.

I would test if I could. It is my scalping EA that I was looking at, but at this stage it is starting to look obsolete in this new version of mt4. I really hope I have a bugged download or I am screwing something up cos I feel a bit sick that 5 years of programs are going to be thrown out the window within the next year or 2 if they enforce the swap over.

Strange thing is I can't find any dialog anywhere about it so it makes me think I may be wrong. I have over 5 years experience installing and trouble shooting these things though and I can't find where I could be going wrong. I may need to go for major system shutdown and reboot, it's just about the only step I've left.

I figured it out after a hours of work. I had the answer at the start but I couldn't find the file.
The application was downloaded into a folder called AppData>>Roaming>>MetaQuotes>>Terminal>>(lots of random numbers/letters)
Even though the downloader works as per norm and the file appears where you place it during the download it is actually not operating from this location. The AppData is a hidden file and I am just looking up it's uses now (probably a tracking ability or something, but assured it's not a virus). End story is I have my EA on the platform now.

I found the AppData hidden folder is accessed from inside the open terminal (under File). It is where you now add your EA's, the MT4 still needs to be restarted for it to show.

Does that mean we can use the new build even if the broker hasn't updated their server yet?

I think the new build plots execution time with each trade, anybody get faster results?

You can use the new builds, however, until your broker updates its server(s) nothing will change in respect to how orders are transmitted - meaning no speed improvement.
