New MetaTrader 4 build 985: Built-in MQL5.community Chat

MetaTrader 4 platform update is to be released on Friday, July 1, 2016. The update will feature the following changes:

Support for MetaTrader 4 terminal versions below 940 to end on July 1, 2016

After July 1, 2016, MetaTrader 4 terminal versions below 940 will be no longer supported. Unsupported terminal builds will not be able to connect to new server versions. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you update your terminals.

MetaTrader 4 Client Terminal build 985

  1. Terminal: New built-in chat. Now, traders can chat with their MQL5.community friends and fellow traders straight from the platform. The chat maintains the history of messages, as well as it features the number of unread messages. To start a chat, log in to your MQL5 account straight from the chat window or via the platform settings: 'Tools' -> 'Options' -> 'Community'.




  2. Terminal: Optimized reading of the internal mail database when the terminal starts.
  3. MQL4: Added an option to show/hide the price and time scale on any chart. In earlier versions, an MQL4 application could only change the CHART_SHOW_PRICE_SCALE and CHART_SHOW_DATE_SCALE properties of the chart, on which it was running.
  4. MQL4: New MODE_CLOSEBY_ALLOWED property for the MarketInfo function. TRUE means that the Close By operation (closing by a counter position) is allowed for the specified financial symbol.
  5. MQL4: Fixed passing of a string parameter to the OnChartEvent entry point. The error could cause a false value of the parameter. OnChartEvent allows tracking chart events: keypress events, mouse movement and more.
  6. MQL4: Implemented faster deletion of multiple graphical objects using the ObjectsDeleteAll function.
  7. Signals: Improved automated matching of currency pairs containing RUB and RUR.
  8. Tester: Fixed stamping of graphical object creation time during testing. In earlier versions, the current terminal time was added instead of testing time.
  9. MetaEditor: Fixed setting of focus in the replace text field when opening a replace dialog box.
  10. MetaEditor: Fixed replacing of multiple text occurrences when you search upwards starting from the current positions.
  11. Fixed errors reported in crash logs.

The update will be available through the LiveUpdate system.

Not using it in live trading (my live trading is mt4 for now) but on demo accounts it is working as expected
 
I am glad to report that the issues that we had with some previous builds - mainly with iCustom() calls that slowed down the execution - are solved in the latest builds
