Discussion of article "MQL5 Market Results for Q2 2013"

 

New article MQL5 Market Results for Q2 2013 is published:

Successfully operating for 1.5 years, MQL5 Market has become the largest traders' store of trading strategies and technical indicators. It offers around 800 trading applications provided by 350 developers from around the world. 80% of all programs are Expert Advisors and indicators. Traders can also benefit from various panels, analyzers and utility programs that allow you to add extra functionality to the MetaTrader 5 trading terminal.

Developers try to impress traders with a variety of products offered in a wide price range. Both free (19% of the total programs offered) and commercial products with prices from 10 to over 1000 credits (1 credit is equivalent to 1 USD) are now available to buyers.

In only 6 quarters of MQL5 Market operation, traders have bought and downloaded to their MetaTrader 5 terminals more than 100.000 trading applications. Downloads of free programs and demo versions of commercial products were about equal in number. Summarizing the results for Q2 2013, the number of downloads via MQL5 Market has increased by 30% as compared to the previous quarter.

I would like to see at least a graph of changes in the Market's turnover:

a diagram where each column represents how much products were sold through the Market in the corresponding month.

This graph would show the dynamics of interest in the whole MT5 platform with certain conventions. The number of downloads is from the evil one. Only those who are willing to pay money are interested.

I would overlay a cloud turnover chart on it. A lot of interesting things could be done. Apparently, completely obsessed with research.....

P.S. According to the figures from the article, the total turnover has already exceeded $1 million. It's moving slowly.

Hmm, kept thinking about absolute values when reading the article.

Your assumption is based on what data, it's only %%...?

 
The developers please traders not only with the variety of products on display, but also with a wide range of prices for them. Currently, both free (19% of the total number of presented programmes) and commercial products с ценой от 10 до 1000 кредитов and more (1 credit is equivalent to 1 USD) are available to the shop's customers.

In just 6 quarters of MQL5 Market operation, traders have already purchased and installed more than 100,000 trading applications in their MetaTrader 5 terminals.
 

Author(s) of the article, please clarify, the phrase "bought and installed ... over 100,000 trading applications" refers only to paid products that have actually been purchased?

p.s. I was confused by the following phrase about demos and free software... and their graph, where their total number, again, > 100000.

I have a vague doubt.

I - with my 10th place in the ranking - made a turnover of $320 in the reporting quarter. Even if the first 9 sellers were 100 times more successful, a million is a long way off....

Sellers, don't be greedy, share your stats! Let's shed some light on the real numbers!

Rather, we need to shed light on the methodology of calculating the top.
