Does it still work since June 1st ?
 
they claim it is. it's the equivalent of an mt4 server api.

Hi johhny,

I never hear anything legal like legal suit from MetaQuotes, and it's been there for sale for so long, so I think it's OK.

 

i would like to hear someone from metaquotes approve this software. due to the latest enforcements by metaquotes to disable build lower than 416, i would assume they don't wish anyone using such a software.

also, how did they create an api? that would require decrypting the protocol? isn't that illegal by definition?

Ask the people that you want to buy the software from . . you will be able to tell a lot from their reply, or lack of reply . . . I notice that they haven't updated their site much since 2010 . . .
 

yes, they haven't, but they've started spamming sites with this product a few days ago, claiming they fixed all issues and can connect to servers with build 416 and upwards.

they also say over 100 signal providers and over 15 brokers use their software.

 
demo attached - working great with no running instances of mt4, so they must have decrypted/reverse-engineered the mt4 protocol.

Why don't you ask them . . . your posts are starting to look like a continued attempt to advertise their product . . .
 

i did ask, they won't tell anything about how it works, only say it is legal software and their own development.

i'm definitely not trying to advertise it, just want to hear from metaquotes if it's legal software or not, or if the developer can answer me here, even better.
