This is a download link for a new metatrader 4 beta : http://forum.mql4.com/c/forum/2013/08/MetaTrader4.Beta.IDE_1.zip
Description of the beta is so far this :
The differences are not critical and can be easily corrected in the code. In return, we access multiple MQL5 features, improved execution speed and much more strict quality control.
First impression : it has a case sensitive autocomplete (the same as metatrader 5)
![](https://c.mql5.com/forextsd/smiles/cry_smile.png)
It assumes that you know the exact way how a variable, function or anything is called and written and the exact letters case. As an example : if you type "ima" you will get nothing as a suggestion, while if you type "iMA" you will get possible choices. As usual the worst that they could do, they did. Don't know yet the other changes, but if they are going to be like this, not a happy period in front of us ...\
Also, if you have multiple files opened and you changed two or more files, when you press F7 it will save and compile all regardless if you want it or nor (even though it clearly states that F7 is "Compile the currently open file" and Ctrl+F7 is "Compile opened files"
If someone is working actively on coding, the recommendation at a moment is not to use that beta version (functions that are not available yet, problems with string operations, ...) Wait some time till it gets into at least so, so stable phase
No wonder that it works like metatrader 5. See the picture and the version of the editor - that is metatrader 5 editor - does that mean that we are going to be arm twisted to start using metatrader 5?
Does this mean all the indicators that previously worked in MT4
now become useless?
and what if we don't want to change?

I don't know. This is the first beta of that "new" metatrader 4 that I saw. The direction it is going in is not promising and we shall have to wait to see if they are going to make it a usable platform or not
Right now, after seeing what the beta is about, I am probably not the best man that should talk about it since the errors they had in metatrader 5 for years are now ported in metatrader 4 too and I must admit that it makes me angry so it is better that I do not comment too much about what I have found so far till they work a bit more on the whole thing and till they show us their intentions and developing direction
I think the death of MT4 already announced.
They will make the substitution gradually to MT5.
It is a way of forcing us to use MT5.
The new MT5, inherit accounting operations had MT4

Who knows : maybe for once we shall be pleasantly surprised
Wow, this sucks.
Changes in some data format and dll comunication, as well as using metatrader 5 editor is all showing in one direction
Not an optimist
