Big changes for MT4, in a few weeks - page 53

 

It seems that it is worse and worse not better as time passes. And really by now beta testers are not testing it any more - nothing changes to better

We have a simple choice : either we wait or we do something else. having metatrader 4 (the build 509) working is saving the whole thing for now. If it comes to a moment when they cancel olde metatrader 4 then we all shall have to decide. Frankly : the longer it takes them to make this "new" metatrader 4, the better for metatrader users

 

I have a feeling that this "new' metatrader 4 was invented on a diner with a couple of drinks too much. So far nothing serious came out of the whole beta teasting

 

We should simply continue trading using metatrader 4. If they suceed to make a better one good. But expecting that they will make a better one so far has proven to be in vain (starting from metatrader 5)

I agree

When (or if) they release a new metatrader 4, then we should start detailed testing. For now, detail testing is useless since the same errors are present from the beginning and I haven't noticed that any of those errors was corrected at any time

 

They are announcing new build for tomorrow

Yep, I saw it (renat is announcing it). Well, we shall see tomorrow

 

this might be all true and good but the point remains:

- should one still invest time and code something new for MT4 509 at the moment

- or just sit back - let time pass without doing anything

it is really annoying

That is a question that nobody can answer right now, and I mus agree that it is extremely anoying

Imagine a situation like this : you make something using build 509 and then comes a "new" metatrader 4 and you have to recode the thing again (plus you have to test all sorts of things to make sure that it works properly). At a moment I have a feeling that all is stopped simply because coders know that they are probably going to have to rewrite all

As of testing this beta : if a trading platform can not do a task as simple as passing parameters correctly, that platform is not worth testing yet. I already told a couple of times that "if things as simple as parameters passing are having errors, then what is happening with more complicated stuff?" I simply do not want to write anything longer than a couple of lines for this beta since it is impossible to know if the error is coming from some new coding rules or simply from yet another bug and I am not willing to spend time inventing patches for bugs. That is the job of platform developers to make the platform bug free

Seems that someone hopes that all the bugs will just disapear
