What new major MetaEditor update?
My platforms are build 509, which I believe to be the most recent update from June last year.

where have you been?
the new MT4 is rolled out soon(ish)
possibly the 1st of February

it won't look any different, just a load of the custom indicators many use, now won't work without being modified
Thanks Metaquotes

(i've already had the upgrade to 574, it was a complete waste of time)

I know that there is a Beta version that you can download if you wish, it should not be an automatic update.

Yes, My Friend Gumrai, several broker already auto update their MT4 to build 574 , change navigator folder structure and new compiler with new set of command codes. a lot of new preserved words and characters that make old code won't work when compiled with the new editor. This new MT45 is nightmare.. lol

Yes Sirs, but sooner or later, we will force to use it.., as long as we want to stay with MetaTrader..

Just little hope from my side and maybe so many rookie coder like myself here, if you have spare time could you create new thread to discuss about this new set of command codes.. and how to change old listing codes to the new one.. please.. please.. ??

Your dumb student..

This is the exact same situation than MT5 when they 1st released it. They now created this hybrid version because most traders rejected the MT5.

Yes Sirs, the different is , with MT5 we still have choice b4 so we can use MT4 broker instead of MT5 broker, so their plan won't work. But now, with this auto update MT45, this is their nasty plan to force us gradually to MT5. Slow but sure, with every next new build releases, I'm really sure about that.. lol.

I think i must concentrate to my naked trading system without any indicators... lol.

BTW happy week end Sirs.. Rainy Day.. there ?

If brokers see many of their clients go away, they will think before providing the hybrid version. That's the brokers choice ... not Metaquotes choice.

I expect coders should welcome such change - many trades spend minor pocket money for requests to fix their code. So let's get ready to help them, coders.

Wow! I didn't realise that. It seems incredible to me that brokers will force an update with something that is only at Beta testing stage.

That was always the problem with Metaquotes in the past. Instead doing solid testings on their side, they give the new builds to traders and wait for feedback.

You must be kidding. Most of the crap code out there needs to be tossed and is probably unfixable.

I wish you were true. Imho most code will get fixed and will be used in the crapware for another decade.
