{quote} cTrader was just an example of a platform that uses C#. There are most likely others that are FAR better. As far as Metatrader actually listening to the traders; you're wrong. The don't. They wait until they hear from the brokers (who get the brunt of the complaints from the users). THAT's when they make changes. Sorry to break it to you.
Absolutely agree. The brokers are Metaquotes' clients not us traders. They don't give a s*** of what we want.

{quote} Agreed. Indicators don't have to be signal generators. Instead, they can form a roadmap that forms a lens through which a trader focuses his study of price. Or they can objectively highlight significant phenomena that would not otherwise be obvious from a naked chart. And there are also indicators that display 'peripheral' info like news events, session start/end times, current times in different cities, previous key price levels, candles from other TFs, daily range stats, etc etc ..... whatever the trader finds useful.
My favorite is the timer until the start of next bar.

{quote} Thanks for your reply (also @braintheboss), it confirms what I've read elsewhere. Agree with you, MT4 has been around for approx 12 years now, and there are thousands of MT4 EAs and indicators currently being run by around 20 million users worldwide, on computers and smartphones. If I have to rewrite, I will ditch MetaTrader, and find a manufacturer who provides forward-compatible trading platform/software. Don't want to find myself in the same position when MT6 comes along. Apparently MQ no longer want to maintain/support two platforms....
Do you think there's some technical limitation that could be preventing them from making the language forward-compatible or is it just that they're deliberately attempting to discard MQL4 in favor of MQL5?

I'm sure decisions aren't simple and they must have many reasons for trying to do what they're trying to do.

Maybe if there is strong enough collective voice from us retail traders, MetaQuotes might make MT5 backward-compatible with MT4.

Why would they care of retail traders when their customers are brokers?

Wonder what is going to happen to all these lovely Indis and Ea's programmed
when Mt4 will decide to end Mt4 and use Mt5 only_
I guess Indicator programmed for Mt4 cannot be updated for Mt5 and need to be re-made

I will jump to MT5 soon...I readed some companies are making specific tools for brokers. Maybe that is the problem for they adopt MT5. They need a virtual dealer plugin for scam traders again

MT5/MQL5 has been around since 2009, hence the language is already pretty much set in concrete. I haven't looked closely at MQL5 myself, but from what I've read elsewhere, apparently some of the compatibility issues originate from the fact that there isn't necessarily an equivalent MQL5 command for every MQL4 command. Anyway, MQ have apparently decided that writing a comprehensive code migration app is too time-costly, at least thus far.

I doubt that MQ care too much about what retail traders want, for the reasons I gave here. Of course I hope that I'm wrong. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Don't worry. Developers will adapt. Those charging fees will have good business in rewriting EAs and indicators. Traders will adapt. Brokers will adapt. Since inception, human beings are programmed to adapt to any change in their environment.
Don't give up on your dreams. Keep sleeping.

Thanx for that ...
That's a bit funny how this updates get installed some times in auto or some times by myself...
I had updated last week MANUALLY from the previous to 1080 to 1080 on one computer
but i dint update on the other computer and left it the way it was
Then now that you told us i checked and i found the main computer being updated to 1090
and the second computer from previous 1080 to current 1080 and I am offline too so it must have happened on Friday
What i am saying is that before i ahd to do it manually all the time there was an update
but now it happens automatically

Well, today on May 21 in the first half of a day I started the platform, it showed no new available updates, then several hours ago I launched it again and it did auto update itself.
