MT4 New build 600 is released

Hello,

I, like many, am having trouble loading three indicators in MT4, Build 610.

I have tried everything I found on the internet to no avail.

Can anyone walk me through fixing this, or help me in any way.

Thanks,

Frank

{quote} No disrespect to your account manager, but I assume that he's not a programmer, and he's simply forwarding sales info that MQ have told him. From what he's saying, it sounds like underscores are no longer valid in variable names. (And in any case, decompiling code involves violation of copyright). MQ state that EX4 files compiled on earlier builds will run 'as is' on build 600. That is apparently...
Being bug free? Am not really sure of that, here is a complain I saw somewhere: "It has broken code in at least some existing mq4 source code files as well as ex4 compiled files (causing MT4 to freeze)" Heard anything like this?

I will pay someone that will walk me through, by phone or other direct method, my Forex MT4, 600 build problem.

I can see three indicators but can’t attach them to a chart, as I could in the old version.

Desperate.

What do you mean by "see the indicators"?
Are the indicators listed in the MT4 Navigator window?
If the indicators are in the Navigator window are their icons gray.
If the icons are gray its possible the new MT4 could not compile the indicators.

The same thing happened to me, they just needs to be recompiled. I did mine and it's good now. Good luck.

Do you have an old version of MT4, ie pre-Build 600 that you can use to compile the indicators.
If yes, then you can copy the ex4 files to the new MT4 platform.
Only copy the ex4 files, not the MQ4 files.

If you don't have a pre-Build 600, then you're going to have to recompile the indicators with Build 600 and hope for the best.
Many indicators will not compile successfully with the new MT4.
If you get compile errors, then you're going to have to ask for programming help.

The brokers are so keen for us to upgrade our platforms (one broker did it without asking my authority it just closed and reopened) but with the one benefit of upgrading to 600 with increased trade execution speed to their servers that requires an upgrade on their end, this is their response:


"Hi Matthew,
Thank you for your email.
The actual server is on build 509.
So far we don't have a accurate date of when we will update our (server side) MT4 to the new version.

We are planning to upgrade it to the latest build once the current bugs have been fixed and it became stable enough.

So if I understand right, your broker has forced you to upgrade to a buggy build while they are keeping the 509 on their side ???

Yah that's sorta the point. That and perhaps they like the slippage that the old platform is providing and is delaying the upgrade for as long as possible.

I am using the 610 platform but I have an old profitable EA that I worked on settings on-and-off for 3 years that no longer has support, it is dead in the water. Additionally it wiped all my EA presets from the experts/presets folder and I found a site that mentioned that it would do that, yet they offered no warnings. Months of work down the gurgler.
The whole thing reeks of commercialism.

I agree, but unfortunately it's not so good either due to the bugs.
I am sure that when all the bugs are eventually sorted out, I will be quite happy with it.

If you remember your presets or have the file somewhere it is easy to incorporate into the EA itself. I have done this for several clients already and everything works for them as before now. Just have an input for UsePreSets. Then in init set the values based on pair, timeframe, etc. No longer a need for preset files.

We could do this over skype. Better to show you the steps than to just do the work for you although I can do that as well.
After all, "Teach a man to fish...".
Most of the fixes I have needed to do so far have been trivial, just tedious at times.
I actually had at least a dozen indicators or EAs that required recompile even though the errors reported the first time were not errors.
Usually undeclared variables even though declared as externs.
I actually had to add a space in a comment block, save and recompile for the errors to be gone.

Thank you to everyone who helped me with the indicator problem I had with the new MT4, 600 build.

I was lost for four days, and felt hopeless.

Those that responded gave their precious time to help me.

Thank you all so much for that help.

Thank you for the offer but the problem has come and gone. It was when the the MT4 was updated from the 509 build to the 600 that the experts/presets folder was deleted and is unrecoverable.
