Why does Metaquotes push MT5 instead of MT4?

 

Before - just went to the metaquotes website and downloaded the MT4 terminal.

Trying to do it again. See a screenshot of the site:

link to MT4\

Downloading file - mt4setup.exe. Great!

I am installing program from the file.

Okay, something is wrong. Ta-da! MT5 is installed!


Question 1: How do I download MetaTrader4? Answer: There is only one way out. Register on the website "aUnasAfricanForex". Get a phone call from the monkey sellers. Get the coveted link to MT4 with whitelabel.

Question 2: how come the link to MT4, from the mt4setup file I install ... MT5?

Assumption 2.1: metaquotes IT people mixed up something and posted a wrong link to the distribution (doubtful).

Assumption 2.2: metaquotes "unobtrusively" encourages me, a regular trader, to open at a broker offering MT5. To switch to MT5 in my trading, my robots. Fraudulently feeding me a "lefty" link.

Assumption 2.2 seems true to me. I can see why Metaquotes is promoting MT5 so assiduously. If only because MT5 costs broker more money due to complex tariffication schemes (number of traders, plugins connected).

Do I need the MT5? What kind of profit will I get? What will I do with a bunch of MQL4 robots? What am I going to do with this new language? My guess is that all more or less serious trading strategies are implemented in third-party languages, and the MQL code just executes trading signals. As in my case.


Metaquotes, explain to me, with the above in mind: is it nice to slip a link to MT5 instead of MT4, guided by more MT5 code?

Enjoyed Renate's quote:

// If the masses don't think about the future, there will always be those who do and create it. //

Slipping a fake link is out of concern for the future.

And then I had an epiphany. Hail Metaquotes!

Download the installer wherever you plan to trade, the choice is yours



 
MoonDrifter:

The file being downloaded is mt4setup.exe. Great!

Installing program from file...

OK, something's wrong. Ta-da! MT5 is installed!

Deliberately cheating the user.

Ay yay yay metaquotes. Is it okay to cheat people?
Didn't your mother teach you when you were a child that it was wrong to do so?

You might have gotten a virus called mt4setup.exe!
 

I like MT4 better than MT5 too. Although it's not politically correct to say so in this forum.

The only big flaw with MT4

I've been using it for a while now and I've lost money, I've been using it for a while now.

I have never been used to buy an FTP server on my own, I've never had an FTP server on my own before.

For now I am working on two platforms, but I will switch to Five full time, I think the tester will become usable in normal way by that time.

The only big bug in MT4

While closed, turned out to be in the negative, in the five worked the same - amazing.

The tester in MT4 is a song, it supports work with graphics, goes smoothly, quickly and without cramps.

I am still working on two platforms, but I will switch to Five step by step, I think the tester will become more usable by that time.


Why did you close mt4 in such a way?

 
igrok333:

and why did mt4 close like this?

Because it has an execution queue, so to speak, one thread, or half of it)
