Big changes for MT4, in a few weeks - page 61

 

i like regular mt4 that compatible with mq4 indicators.

no need to make worse.

p/s: Just update in mq5 only.

 

Build 563

The problem with internal functions, build in indicators and custom indicators described at this post Big changes for MT4, in a few weeks still exists

________________

PS: no, it is not a duplicated post. The errors in builds 562 and 563 are still the same

 

So they do the same thing again : no error corrections but they call it a new build

 

Even the new functions (the ones made to work as in metatrader 5 - OnTimer() for example) are having problems : they sometimes work and then they do not work. Typical bug situation

*edit*

p/s: Just update in mt5 (mq5) only.

Hope mt4 remains the regular coding as it should

(no bugs in mt4 indicators)

 

Just for the sake of fun tried what they claim that works : the OnCalculate() function that should accept other indicators values as an input for price. Not that it does not accept other indicators values for price, but it does not work at all (here is a very simple example that should do the work)

Actually this is a potential danger that could cause a lot of confusion in the future. There might be a major mix up in new metateditor when it comes to functions specific to metatrader 5 only and that will cause a lot of problems for coders in the future. An editor that needs to handle 2 different coding languages must do that perfectly or else nothing will work OK. And when I mentioned "perfectly" the answer is already there ... it will not be perfect (there are no perfect things) and this funny mixture of two coding languages is on its way to the creator

Here is one example of an error that we can find in this beta It is a very, very simple EA. And it is displaying 3 numbers : open of a current bar, time of the current bar an local time. When you place it on chart try changing time frames and symbols. Do not be surprised that neither open nor the time of the current bar does not change : it will not change. As a matter of fact if you use any internal function or built in indicator it will show only data for the time frame and symbol it was started on. In all the other cases it will show wrong data (in cases when you change symbols it will show data from a completely wrong symbol - so all the functions or built in indicators or icustom indicators will show wrong results in those cases)

Someone posted that ea on Russian forum as his own
