Discussion of article "Use MQL5.community channels and group chats"

 

New article Use MQL5.community channels and group chats has been published:

The MQL5.com website brings together traders from all over the world. Users publish articles, share free codes, sell products in the Market, perform Freelance orders and copy trading signals. You can communicate with them on the Forum, in trader chats and in MetaTrader channels.

Like most of the existing instant messengers, MetaTrader chats offer opportunities for broadcasting messages to large audiences. Two messaging types are available: groups and channels. Both types allow communicating with friends and colleagues, as well as sharing images, videos and files. Each of the types can be additionally used as a means to increase revenues from MQL5 services, such as Signals and Market.

Channels are usually used for broadcasting information to subscribers and thus they can serve as a microblogging platform. For example, they provide an efficient way to share news and important announcements with Signal subscribers or Market product users. If you make a channel public, any MQL5.community member will be able to subscribe to it. In private channels, only the owner and users with administrator permissions can invite members. A distinctive feature of this chat type is that message can only be sent by the channel owner or administrators. Subscribers can only read posts, without the ability to write messages.

Channels can be conveniently viewed in MetaTrader mobile apps for iPhone and Android.

"My paranoia keeps me safe!" and allows me to post "anonymously" on the forum, but does not allow me to use the trading terminal as a messenger/social network.

 

Messages in the mobile app (android 10 190711.020, MT5 3108) are very slow.

It can take several tens of seconds from the moment you tap on a push notification to loading a single new message into the chat. This is with a wi-fi connection.

 

And then there's the occasional thing like this:

Messenger also opens messages from history... That is Push came, you open messenger, wait 30-60 seconds and you open a post for May or January, and should be for 22 November....

 

To great regret the system of groups and channels in the community leaves much to be desired...

What is vitally needed:

The ability to create competent posts - now the picture flies away at once, if the text has a link to the product, the text from the product is also re-pulled.

 

And I thought they'd tweaked those chips.

Is it bots writing or who? There is no name/nickname, also when clicking on a picture it offers to save it, from the screenshot you can see that the image is reduced to fit in the chat room

And why this function in this place? Is it a separate account for chats? When you exit chat rooms, all online services from MQL are switched off, quite suspicious :)

Ah, the man is talking to himself, then it is clear :))))

This is a channel, not a group chat. The channel administrator chose the wrong type , so all subscribers write anonymous posts.

In group chat each post has its own author.

Why in a public channel all subscribers and the creator write anonymous posts? This is extremely inconvenient in communication.

The choice there is only public and private. But in the private channel access only invited, voluntary entry, I understand, is not available.

Channels, as a rule, are intended for mass distribution of information. It is convenient to communicate news or important information in them, for example, to your subscribers to Signals or users of Market products. A distinctive feature of a channel is the unidirectional nature of posts. It means that only the author (or authors) of the channel can write posts. Subscribers can only read.

The channel administrator can give the right to write to other subscribers, it is convenient in cases when the channel is run by a group of editors. However, all posts in the channel are published on behalf of the channel. For joint communication and discussion of any topics, group chats are better suited, where each subscriber can write on his/her own behalf. In this case, each post has its own author, and the authors are displayed in a separate colour.
