and then eventually MT6.

I have a feeling the next version will be called MT-64.

By the way, now that we are talking about the tester and it is still under development, I would like to know if the well-known MT4 tester bug, which allows tested EAs to look into the future, will be fixed? At the moment, MT4 cannot correctly get the value of Moving Average with price for zero bar because it is calculated based on the full future OHLC, even on the first tick when only the open is known.

If your statement were true, then the value of ma and price in the MetaTrader 4 tester logs would always be different. In fact, they are equal.
