Does MetaTrader 4 now use MQL5?

[sarahc]

Hi, I have installed MetaTrader 4 Version 4.00 Build 1090, however when I go to Help menu, all the links there are for MQL5. So is MT4 compatible with the complete MQL5 specification now??

Thanks.

Not complete, but to some extend.

And backwards of what you think.

People don't like it when i say that MT4 is obsolete, but i'm sure you get the picture when you read something like that.

Thanks for that. It was just a little weird as I would have guessed MT4 would provide links for MQL4. It seems as though Metaquotes is really pushing MQL5 as the new standard.
