What would it take to get everyone to finally switch to MT5? (collecting opinions) - page 5

 
Реter Konow:

What do you mean? Stop further development or "shut down" altogether?

Close it down and never mention it again, or it will be embarrassing.
 

Man, what a topic). MT4 and MT5 are primarily commercial products. If brokerage companies give up MT4, they will pay money for MT5 and Peter will be happy).

As long as MT4 and its service brings profit, no one will oppress it, especially MK.

 
Vitaly Muzichenko:

With mt5 MQ's graphics support they promised to fix the flaw, and many other visualisation trivia. This is most likely what is slowing down the transition of some users to the platform

It's all nonsense. I switched, but went back to 4. Less CPU consumption, less traffic, 30% less code to solve the same task. I don't need to bother with an amazingly efficient access to timeseries via handle. Time is money.

And testing by ticks is pseudoscience, all kitchens have different ticks.

And tick testing is pseudoscience altogether, all kitchens have different ticks.

Реter Konow:

Maybe make it possible to test MT4 multicurrency EAs in the MT5 tester? (It doesn't matter what the technical difficulties are, the main thing is whether the marketing move will work).

Although, the effect could be the opposite. One of the incentives to switch will disappear.

That's great! On the contrary, it is an incentive to switch to MT5, because MT5 will be used more often. It is like with Windows: we used XP, then installed Vista and 7th because new games were available (Dx10-11). And gradually forgot about XP

 
Renat Akhtyamov:

remove the hell out of all the features that prevent people from making money

Stop being a beast.

soon no one will give a damn about forex, they will wait for 100 percent.

1. To remove the contrivances means to simplify. It is abstract, but understandable.

And why soon no one will give a fuck about forex?

Peter, you are past it as usual.... I don't think so, the topic of multicurrency Expert Advisors has long been dead, rare shots don't count - there was an effect that if something is missing, you should get it, the same thing with multicurrency Expert Advisors - they could not be properly tested in MT4, but they really wanted to, MT5 appeared - after a few years there was little interest in multicurrency Expert Advisors...

We are talking about the quality of tick data modelling, about the speed of optimization in MT5!


i will repeat once again, the problem is in the platform itself, it is very inconvenient to receive data in MQL code from the environment, what is written in MT4 in 10-15 lines, in MT5 it will take 1.5-2 times more.... as if MT5 terminal was developed by another company or they have taken a third-party terminal as an example, i can write for MT5, but i do not force myself, i do not feel like writing extra code ))))

 

By the way !

to get rid of the 4, we need to release the MT6 :-)

Peter, you're past it as usual.... The topic of multicurrency Expert Advisors has long been stalled, rare shots don't count - there's an effect that if something is missing you have to have it, the same goes for multicurrency TS - they couldn't be properly tested in MT4, but you really wanted to, MT5 appeared - after a few years there was little interest in multicurrency TS...

moreover

I have a lot of them worked fine and profitable on real MT4 accounts before the possibility of testing in MT5

;)

No programming language at all (except for indicators) and with full-featured API. No problem - whatever you like, that's what you write on.

The tester can be left for the poor.

SZZY In principle, the API is already there, through DLL and MQL layer. The only thing missing is the DLL -> Terminal backlink.
