Hi, I created a topic about MetaTrader feature requests and suggested some changes to the app, but a moderator removed it. The reason given was:
"This is a user forum. There is no official method to request features. You can try the Service Desk."

However, the Service Desk only opens a virtual MQL5.com assistant chat, and there is no way to send a message from it.

So, is there really no way to contact the MetaTrader development team to request features and improvements?

If you navigate the chatbox, you will eventually reach a point where you can leave a message for human interaction.

Alternatively, you can use the mobile terminal application, to leave feature requests ...

Settings → Contact Developer, and select Category → Feature Request

PS! Please note however, that most of the time, such feature request will receive very low priority (if at all), mainly because most requests can be achieved via an MQL program anyway.

Thanks for the help

You're right . some of the features I want can be achieved with MQL programs, but it's not the best solution.

Do you think the developers would agree to open-source some parts of the app so the community can build a better version of MetaTrader?
That way, we could have two versions: the official one and a community-driven version. The developers could then review the improvements and integrate the best changes into the main version for all users.

I’d personally be willing to contribute to improving the UI. I prefer to use MetaTrader for everything instead of switching between TradingView and NinjaTrader for better UI, DOM, footprint charts, and other features.
I also know many people who use MetaTrader only for opening trades. Improving these aspects would help MetaTrader attract more users.

Based on my own experience and that which can be seen here on the forum, be prepared for your requests to be totally ignored.

If for some miracle some points are addressed, know that it was because MetaQuotes already had it in their own plans, and not because you asked for them.

So, create your own solutions in MQL (and/or via DLL calls), because they will not be implemented by MetaQuotes in any foreseeable future.

Never! 😅
 

I will come and see you.

I cannot make a payment unless I register my credit card information to renew my VPS rental and update it on the payment screen.

I would like to know how to improve this.

By the way, I use XM's MT4.

It's better to deposit the necessary money into your MQL5 account first and then use the MQL5 way of payment during checkout.

Hi friends! I am new and don't know anything about compiler. Can somebody tell me what I did wrong when I declared the following as function on the expert initialization function or section of my EA.

float  MarketBottom(20,15,22)

Explanation to the above declaration: data type is float, space (between data type and function name) function name is MarketBottom, value, 20, 15, 22 inside bracket are parameters. Each parameter is separated by coma, but I get this compiler error: "Syntax error: type expected." Isn't float a type specified? please help me out

 
In fact I'm a new person on this app I really need who can assist me on the go to tread...
