Metatrader known bugs ... - page 82

 
Ovo:
Finally I decided to do something with the frequent need for lock/unlock the Auto Scroll with the new build.

The indicator locks and unlocks the chart depending on position after mouse dragging.

Perhaps it wont be actual with the next release, so I placed it just here.

autolock.ex4

BTW, I was trying to insert the relevant part of code, but the post editor does not seem to accept sequence (left par+ex.mark+left.par).

It interprets is a special sign

 

Build 784:

In visual back test mode, once you place the indicator on chart, you can not remove it any more. That worked OK before newest changes

Back tester is worse and worse with each new build

 

They are doing that on purpose

They can control (turn on and off) the EAs. They can not do that with manual trading systems. That is why they are disabling (making it messy) the visual back test. To prevent manual trading systems tests. It is all the deal they are doing for their customers (brokers) not for their victims (traders)

They are not doing it on purpose

They are simply not able to clean up the bugs - they showed it quite a few times that they have no idea what are they doing

 

Templates can not be applied the way they used to be applied before in the visual back test

MT4 is becoming more and more like MT5 in visual back test : useless

 

Same as scroll lock : pretending to be a "feature"

The scroll lock seems to be back on track in 787, while the templates in the tester still cannot be changed. You can only set them in advance as defaults.

Yes, they finally reverted that auto scroll nonsense

But as you have noticed, templates can not be applied, and still if you place an indicator on chart in visual back test you can not remove that indicator any more. It more and more reminds on mt5 in visual back test, and mt5 in visual back test is more or less worthless

PS: that is all about latest build 787

 

This is a quote from the mt4 help :

"The default indexing of all arrays and indicator buffers is left to right. The index of the first element is always equal to zero. Thus, the very first element of an array or indicator buffer with index 0 is by default on the extreme left position, while the last element is on the extreme right position."

That is a complete and utter nonsense. By default, element 0 is the first (leftmost) element of an array, while it is the last (rightmost) element of a buffer. Be carefull when reading the help since it is even more buggy than the mt4
