Metatrader 5 beta testing started.

[hytre]

I think because of the changes to the MQL language in MT5, most EAs will need to be adjusted to fit in with the new structure.

That's very bad, not only EAs but all the indicators written for mt4 will be useless in mt5.

its super

[Paul-trader]

MT4 EAs will most defintely not work in MT5. They did not make it backwards compatible. It's a brand new language that fits in with the new NFA regulations.

Its very sad!
So, now we should buy all EA's once again or developer may be will update them?

Just curious

I'm pretty sure you will still be able to choose which platform do you like more and use it

For example there are many brokers that allows you to choose which platform do you like more- Trade Station or MT4


Thank you for your time,

Most of the indicators can be transferred to MQL5. With an experts will be difficult. The new terminal is does not allow you to open multiple positions and this could greatly complicate the migration for some strategies.

Metaquotes needs to think seriously about uncrippling MT5 and allowing us to hedge positions or it will not be a popular trading terminal. As it stands, it is really only suitable for the few US based brokers left under the NFA regime.

MT4 will be maintained for at least another two years.
Personally, I am sure that many will use it for a long time.

PS
The new platform provides much more flexibility to create mechanical trading systems. Ultimately, all these advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Metaquotes will need to make a non crippled version though. The majority of the world's brokers are not bound by NFA rules.

The rules of the NFA, and only in them is the problem?

yeah hedging yes to MT4 let MT5 burn in hell i test it in it is not worthit

[currencytrading]

There is no off line charts in the MT5. Are they gone for good?If yes, many people will be really unhappy unless there is a new way of making custom charts, like constant range bars.

It is great news for me that Meta trader 5 beta testing is started, i am very glad to hear this news from this forum.

[fxsignaler]

i'm developer, i find out some problems in mql4 when i compare with c++ i hope in the mql5 it's be solved

[EmilioFX]

MT 5 dont allow hedging. I hope MetaQuotes will add hedging functionality. Otherwise i will stick with Mt4.
