What is the point of Copy for ** USD button in the MT4 signals, when it downloads MT5 installer? - page 2

 
Eleni Anna Branou:

Alain, I have 4 different instances of MT4 and the "Start copying in MetaTrader" button does not open any of them.

Its just downloading MT5 installer again!


Its kind of strange to see you defending MQL5 though...
I don't defend anything. I do agree it's a bad practice to install MT5 when you click on MT4. The fact is on my side it doesn't do that as I demonstrated. I have no idea why it's different on your side.
 
Alain Verleyen:

Not on my side. Here is what I get :

And if I click on Open ("Ouvrir le lien") it starts MT4, and open the Signals tab on the selected signal.

I see, then you are getting a different result than me.

I wonder why is that, maybe because I have more than 1 MT4 versions and doesn't know which one to open.

Thank you very much for taking the time to investigate this!

No as I have more than 6 MT4 and also a lot of MT5.

I am using Windows 10 and Firefox up to date.

I am using Chrome, maybe something is blocking it.

 

I do not think browser has anything to do with it.

For the record. When i click subscribe for MT4 signal, i too get presented MT5 setup installer, while MT5 is already installed. I do not have MT4 installed.

Just tried with Chrome, works similarly as I described with Firefox.

Metaquotes want to impose MT5 on your computer...lool

Yes, for a while now ... ha, ha.

 

The Javascript probably defaults to MQL5.com.

Eleni maybe you use something like UBlock or another ad blocker so you can see if it open xdg-open on chrome.
