interesting article
it turns out, in such a simple way:
Чтобы решить вопрос без DLL, достаточно установить MetaTrader 4 в каталог \Files\ терминала MetaTrader 5
you can get access to MT4 historical data and use MT5 tester for multicurrency analysis.
kudos to the aftar!
Not for all trading strategies (as it was written above, I mean if you do not adapt MT4 trading methods to MT5).
I am not talking about the differences in the results of R2 and MT5 (but Rumus is really disconnected from life, we will not take it into account).
komposter:
I am reading this statement for the n-th time, and for the n-th time I would like to ask you to cite at least one sequence of orders/transactions, when transferring it from MT5 to MT4 (or vice versa) its financial result will change. Not the list of orders/transactions in the history will change, not the display of the current open position will be different, but the financial result will change.
I argue that if trading conditions are identical (quotes/spreads/swaps/stop levers, etc.) the result on MT5 will be the same or better than on MT4 (better - due to swaps, if there are 2 counter positions on MT4).
Yes, it is a difficult task to organise accounting of all nuances when copying trades. But this is another task, and it has nothing to do with the theoretical part of the netting issue.when transferring it from MT5 to MT4 (or vice versa) its financial result will change
I would remove this opposite. When porting to the old platform yes, but when porting from the old to the new there is one nuance.
That's locks, of course. I've always been an opponent of them. I still am. But somehow I came across an example where locks are useful as an exception.
I mean that a locked position, provided that the main order is opened earlier and closed later, will require 2 spreads, while a netting position in this case will require 3 spreads. This is the only exception in my memory. But it is quite common, so MT4 trading will have to be adapted to MT5 when porting (to a new platform).

How? Can you give me an example?
Open buy - open sell - close sell - close buy? Where is the extra spread?
Is silence a sign of agreement? ;)
An example will come a little later.
There are two options:
1. A copier of trades from MT5 to MT4, performing rollovers and truncations in a rather large volume.
2. Manual trading in three accounts at once, in three different DCs and on three different platforms (MT5, MT4 and R2).
PS
Trading conditions as you understand can be a little different, but it is not the main thing....
I want to say at once that I do not intend to adjust the TS to MT5, i.e. the work will be carried out on the fact of triggering an order or making a deal (how it will be perceived by the terminal is not very important to me)....
How's that? Can you give me an example?
Open buy - open sell - close sell - close buy? Where's the extra spread?
Sorry, I got tired yesterday and made a mistake. After locking a position in MT4, the final position will be zero in MT5.
So this is the situation:
open buy - open sell - close sell - close buy in MT4,
in MT5 will be processed as Open Buy - Close Buy, Open Buy - Close Buy.
I just fell for an example where it was wrongly graphically shown that to process the situation OB-OS-ZS-ZB in MT4,
MT5 requires OB-ZB-OSS-OSS-OSS-OSS-OB-ZB.
But this is fundamentally wrong. Because a blocked position is equal to the absence of a position.
There will be an example a little later.
Looking forward to it.
It is possible without rumus, only MT4 and MT5.
And, in order not to spread the thought on the tree, you can just show the list of deals (buy: price, lot; sell: price, lot; etc.).....

The crutch, in the form of file connection between two terminals, can be completely eliminated through Named Pipes.
The mechanism is fully implemented for MT5 and MT4. So you don't even need to write anything. Just insert the already existing code and that's all.
This will give you one more advantage (ease):
You can copy trades from several terminals into one. For example:
you have 5 accounts: 2 on MT5 and 3 on MT4. You need to copy trades from all 5 accounts to one account.
What is original about MT4->MT4, MT5->MT5, MT4->MT5 and MT5->MT4 copiers? The idea of a copier is elementary and obvious.
I am more interested in how such situations are handled.
