Big changes for MT4, in a few weeks - page 230

 
checkin:
What they wrote there is ridiculous - major step back. As usual from mt

Unfortunately yes - that type of backtesting is worthless ... for indicators (just check it in metatrader 5 and you shall see) Instead of taking good things from both (mt4 and mt5) and merging that in something usable, they are taking what is worse from both and then they will try to force us to use that. That is a shortcut to wherever they are heading, but not to wherever they think they are heading

In order to prevent tested Expert Advisors from "looking into the future", the FileOpenHistory function is prohibited in the tester.

They are "caring" about us :):)

And this is the biggest nonsense I have seen :

MQL5: Fixed access of MQL4 programs to offline charts.

What the hell are they blabbing about - mql5 can not work with offline charts

 

Fileopenhistory limit now is clear why they did that. They thinking about store. They don't want people sell scam EA. But the truth is almost people don't use MT4 for earn money selling things. They use it for earn money trading!!!

 

Maybe means API for offline charts. But we know really is "removed features for you can use it" xD

That is becoming typical : when mt people do not know what mt can do. Sad

 

I want they implement template classes. It's nightmare simulate it now. Not clean way and you have.much redundant code.

I am not much familiar with template coding, and it is a complete disaster for me when I receive a runtime error from that part of MQL4 code.

What I am missing most in the syntax are JAVA-style interfaces.

 

MT5 new build can debug EA in backtester. Not bad...

In the mean time : " Packaging Plants for Home Moving", "Packing and Moving of House Items Made Painless by Movers and Packers". "Need text loans", "Money is an important part of Quick loans UK", escort services, and so on ... continues at mt forum over and over.

Big change indeed
