MT4 New build 600 is released

Just updated to build 646. Has anyone else noticed that the previous 600 builds the Chart Shift seems to go off kilter more often? It was a very slight problem on the 500 builds that when the candles and indicators were in a specific range (often a very large range) then the chart shift couldn't make up its mind where it wanted to sit and the chart would flick from right of screen and then a few bars left with each tick. It was fixed more often than not by just changing time frame and back again or with zoom and it would sort itself out.

In the 600 builds this problem has become prominent. It happens more regularly and it isn't fixed so easily. I have noticed the problem happens on both my main (large) size monitor and also my smaller monitors too. It is nothing serious as it soon sorts itself out, but being midtrade and dealing with it can be frustrating too. Is anyone else dealing with this glitch or is it just me and my setup?

Hi guys,

here it is the best method of stopping updating to mt4 build 600.

We can stop updating at webinstall folder. But it is creating automatically again and again. we can use delete folder batch file to delete this webinstall folder continuously.

Open notepad and paste below code.

:start
rmdir /s /q "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MetaQuotes\WebInstall"
goto start

save file as ".bat" extension

then run this it will delete webinstall folder automatically.

keep it in startup folder. Then download build 509 and open the terminal.exe.

the mt4 will not update

Thank you guy, you given our great help, you also saved MetaQuotes Ltd. Predictably, if MetaQuotes kept tinkering, in the near future, it may be replaced by other companies.

Really? I wouldn't advise that.

I wrote these batch files to enable and disable MT4 Live Update.

MT4build5XXBlockUpdate.bat stops build 509 from updating to 600+.
MT4build5XXAllowUpdate.bat removes the block.

MT4build6XXBlockUpdate.bat stops builds 600+ from updating.
MT4build6XXAllowUpdate.bat removes the block.

I personally wouldn't advise anyone to do a live update. Always install a new version in a different folder and carefully test it before using it live. Keep your previous versions intact in case you need to go back. With live update disabled, you can run multiple versions on the same PC with out any problems.

I am using it in XP. It is working good(not updating to build 600+). I am compiling my codes and trading on live account.

A programmer friend sent me the attached images, which he claims are the result of compiling the displayed code in build 6xx.

No need to reply with a solution, as he's quite capable of removing the comment himself. He just wanted to give everybody a good laugh.

Another reason for me to be glad that I'm no longer using MQL4.

That depends whether you value new features over stability and reliability.

I see that you've contributed no .mq4 or .ex4 files to any of your posts, so I assume that you're not a programmer.

What use are new features if nothing works properly?

Yup! I second that.

It crashes much more reliable than B509, corrupts memory much more frequently and the disgruntlement on the old and experienced MQL4 programmers is at an all time high.

Now this is what I call a real improvement.

Meanwhile we're at B646 and they keep introducing old bugs from the 604 into the 646.
This means that the coder team at MegaQuirks is in full panic mode right now and gets their nuts ripped off by their management which get theirs nuked by the investors.

It sounds like one of the greatest contributors to Metatrader is giving up on it.

Mladen has shared so much brilliant programming and advice with thousands of Metatrader users over the years.

Mladen states in this post yesterday:

"A lot of things have changed, and what they thought as an easy-go transition turns out to be a road to hell - and still no decisive steps in sight that would correct all the problems. Instead they are turned to signals, magazines sales

As it looks now, we are going to have a kind of a vacuum for some time there were metatrader was until appropriate new trading platform takes its place. I do not see willingness to make metatrader reliable and that is the main reason why I told the previous sentence."

I think you are supposed to get that 'feature' when you use the '#property strict' flag in build 600+. It was like that, then it was not, now I don't really know. It is in constant flux.

Even though you don't want a solution, here is one for anyone else who might have issues with it. It is possible to use double comments using the two different comment operators to have both a descriptive parameter name and an inline comment. Now, this is probably just a side effect and not something metaquotes consciously intended but it works. At least for now.

Ex:
Inserted Code
extern bool RangeEnableAlarm=false; /* Session Range: Enable Alert */  // Alarm for when the range exceeds the range threshold value

I do not know if mLaden is giving up but I am. The new builds have become more hassle than they are worth. Especially when a bug fix causes older bugs to resurface. My install programs no longer work due to the folder structure changes. All of these changes would have been more logical if they had simply kept the folder structure and changed file extensions.
The almost 9 year journey had its ups and downs but this might be the death song of meta$%$#% if all of us support programmers leave. Without us they really only have a nice graphics package.

Hi.

I do not know if this is the right area to write about the following, so my apologies ahead
of time if this is not right.

At the moment the MT4 Trading Platform is at update 670. To check to see what update
is on the MT4, open that, select Help, Click on About. If update 670 is not there, suggest
contacting your Broker, and ask them to push the latest update they have to your MT4.

Recently, and as usual without prior notice to all users. The owner / operators of the MT4 Trading Platform
made another change ( possibly applied also to the MT5 Trading Platform, do not know, not using that one )
to the MT4 Trading Platform. This time they removed the Custom Indicators area in the
Navigator area which in turn removed all preinstalled, and installed by the Trader's Indicators.

Also, they changed Login to read Login to your account. Need to select your Account Number,
then click on Login to your account.

Back to Indicators, and also Templates. The Indicators shall need to be reinstalled,
and shall also mention how to install templates.

Indicators:

1. Open The MT4 Trading Platform.

2. Select File, click on Open Data Folder.

3. Double click on the MQL4 Folder, double click
on the Indicators Folder. Copy, paste your Indicator(s)
into that Folder from the location your Indicator(s)
are filed in.

4. Close the pop up window where the Indicators Folder is.

5. Close the MT4 Trading Platform.

6. Open the MT4 Trading Platform.

7. Click on the square with the + symbol in that
beside the word Indicators.

8. Scroll down to locate, your Indicator(s).

9. Select the chart the Indicator(s) are to be placed on.

10. Right click on the Indicator(s). Select Attach To Chart.

11. Adjust the parameters as needed.

12. Click on ok.

13. Click on the square with the + symbol in that beside the word Indicators.

14. When the parmeters have not been adjusted when the Indicator(s) were
placed on the chart. Right Click on the chart. Click on Indicators List.
Click on the Indicator listed under Main Chart, click on Edit. Adjust
the parameters, click on close.

15. To delete Indicators(s) do the same thing as in 14, except choose delete.

16. Close the MT4 Trading Platform.

Note: Indicators that are greyed out either do not work properly or
their original coding has been changed.

Templates:

1. Open the MT4 Trading Platform.

2. Select File, Click on Open Data Folder.

3. Double click on the Templates Folder. Copy, paste your Template(s)
into that Folder from the location your Template(s) are filed in.

4. Close the pop window where the Templates Folder is.

5. Close the MT4 Trading Platform.

6. Open the MT4 Trading Platform.

7. Select the chart the Template is to be placed on.

8. Right click on the chart. Scroll down to, select
Template. Scroll down to, select, click on the
Template to be installed.

9. To remove a Template. Right click on the chart.
Scroll down to, select Remove Template. Click
on the Template to be removed. That shall also
automatically remove the Template from the Templates Folder.

10. Remove the chart.

11. Install a new chart when needed.

Hopefully that shall help.

Thank You.

In addition to that they log some more events to the logging folder so be sure to buy some moooaaar harddisk space on your VPS.
Heck - they even log events during an optimisation run now - which they didn't before.
Well done! Really - well done. One nail after the other into the coffin.
