MT4 not responding - Any ideas why?

I have several MT4 account (alpari and FXCM) and both have stopped responding. I open them up, they load up but freeze and stop responding. I tried contacting apari today but their suggestions of reloading and downloading again hasn't helped.

I have tried downloading several demo accounts from other companies, they work for a while but when i start loading some indicators on and open more pairs the same thing happens with them. Now as soon as i they freeze. Any suggestions????? thanks

Does it work before you start loading indicators?
What are the indicators you are loading?

Cyber1. i just re-installed again and it appears to run fine until i install these indicators

before this week i've been using these indicators for months now on about 10 pairs with no problems?

I had the same thing a while ago.......it turned out to be one the indicators i was using...

I recommend that you load the indicators one by one....you should soon find the culprit....

And check what build you are on.....Build 711 caused a huge memory drain....

i think it is the indicator but why are they causing problems now? new MT4's not compatible to older indicators?

what bild MT?
I have problem with 741

you can write MQ - http://forum.mql4.com/65342/unread#unread

I like my trading but i'm no way MT4 savy. I just like it to work.

Try removing all mq4 files from indicators, scripts, & Ea's leaving just the Ex4 files.
Look for the files via Open Data folder.

If you cannot see the EX4 files of your MQ4 files, you have your problem, not compiling.

it is terminal.exe bild 745

1. copy yuor old terminal.exe bild and put it some folder
2. delete terminal.exe old bild from MT4
3. PUT terminal.exe new 745 bild in MT4
4. TEST new bild

thanks for your time guys. really appreciate the help.

I've started simple and loaded the indicators one by one and it seems to be running fine (at the moment) it seems the 'FF news' indicator that require DLL imports on is the problem. shame as it's a great indi.

Many thanks! Previous update buggered up in less than 5 seconds, this one at least started up. Memory usage is funny though, must be a sign to ditch the crap while I still can

Thank you again!

This indicator works fine on the latset build 745 on post #1

Thanks Shabs, i'll give them a try.

The problem in my opinion appears to be that after too many updates to an existing platform it somehow ends up corrupted plus I suspect that any old indicators/EAs/scripts etc in the folders affects the performance of the platform in some way, I do not think that it will be too long before any old software will need to be totally re-written.

I have had all sorts of issues with the platform freezing or severely lagging even when only moving the cross hairs on a chart and I could not log into my live account as it refused to accept any password entries and believe me I tried all sorts of options and fixes. The fix I found that worked for me was to download a new fresh 745 build and only load indicators and EAs that were compiled on 745, the result was I now have no lagging problems and everything appears to work correctly. I say correctly but from a programming point of view there are still some issues that need to be resolved but at least I can use the platform now.

This post is 3.5 years later but is relevant to the the first query.

My MT4 stopped, hanged, wouldn't work as described above three days ago. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling with no solution. What I did notice on starting my MT4 from Vantage FX in Australia, was that the application did not hang immediately! It hanged itself very quickly but there was about 2-3 seconds before it did. Now that suggested that I just might have enough time to click onto the "last indicator" that I was trying out, on the Navigator indicator list and delete it !? It took me no less than four attempts to achieve this and when I did the MT4 app. behaved perfectly ! Well, whooping hooray ! I can now get back to finding a decent trade !!

The offending indicator was a currency strength tool entitled CMF_T3.v1.1

Beware of it ....
