1. I have the general question regarding the MT5 platform?


I have opened a trade in WTI on 09.07.2020 17:10:49, open price was 18.12 with 4 lots trade and all of a after crossing 30 min it was changed to 20.12.  I have an account with ATA Markets Live.  It was the fraud is taken place but my account manager and other support team is telling that when I opened a trade it was opened @ 20.12, which is reached today to this point.


Now I am asking my $ 8000 dollar are taken from my account by making fraud in my account. So i need your help to fight against this kind of Brokers who are sucking the blood of the common personal which are investing to earn some amount for living a better life.


Is there any technical issue raised on the DATE 09-July-2020 after EST 17:10:49, can you tell me please and help me to raise a complain against the fraud happened to me.

 
MDJahangir:b 1. I have the general question regarding the MT5 platform?

Don't Hijack other threads for your off-topic post. Next time, make your own, new, thread.

 

Does that mean that MQL4 is put to death sentence?

I think there is more people using MQL4 than MQL5.


Is there anyway to know what is the user's base for each platform? means how many users actually use MQL4 and MQL5?

MQL4 and MQL5 are the programming language.
Metatrader 4 (MT4) and Metatrader 5 (MT5) are the trading platform.

Does that mean that MQL4 is put to death sentence?

In general - that means nothing for us (for traders).
It means only the following:

  • we can download MT4 from the brokers' websites only (the brokers are continuing to support MT4);
  • there are no any improvements of MT4 in the future; we can expect minor bug fixig only. You asked to improve something on MT4? So, I explained that it will not be done.

I understand what you mean.

But i am asking if there is anyway to know the user base for MetaTrader4 and MetaTrader5?

To see if it's worth it to create anything for MetaTrader4 or not.

Also broker's websites don't have any updates for the platform itself. I got MT4 from more than one broker and both are with these limited stuff that i mentioned.


So really the big question, which i hope you or other moderators have any idea about. What is the use base like for both platforms?

MT4 is bigger , MT5 is better .

Build for both right now ,and definately test on MT5 - prefer the MetaQuotes Demo MT5 version for testing .

Same for signals , if you build a signal for mt4 or mt5 ,test it on MT5 - prefer the MetaQuotes Demo MT5 version again.

To put it bluntly ,if you can test on MT5 dont test on MT4

You can use what you want (MT4 or MT5).

As to MT4 so the brokers are having updates for MT4, but the first update is coming from MetaQuotes-Demo server.
So, open demo account with MetaQuotes-Demo and update MT4 (as I know - the latest build is 1265 now).

----------------

It was same talking for MT3 compare with MT4 many years ago.
The people told that Metatrader 3 is the best for Windows '95 with Pentium 1 ..
But we do not have Windows '95 now ... and there is no Pentium 1 ... so ..
But I am still thinking that Windows'95 was the best Windows version.

You can check the thread -

It may be same for MT4 compare with MT5 for example.

I rented two hosting on two different platforms that do not work and cannot run the EA and I have a message from the system that I am unable to activate the EA, knowing that I had used it in the same way.
