Hi, I'm new using this platform... I mean all, MQL5, MetaTrader, everything but I'm a fast learner and I'm learning fast :)
I'm having problems with the Trading section that has been added as mentioned above... I'm not allowed to enter to my account.
Everytime I enter my login and password I get:
- Terminal MetaTrader Web trader started
- Network Websocket connection is successfully stablished on...
- Network 'xxxxx': authorized failed
- Network WebSocket connection was suddenly closed! (Code: 1006))
Any help will be very much appreciated
Boris

New MetaTrader 4 Build 880: Web Trading, One-Time Passwords and Direct Payment for Services
MetaTrader 4 platform update is to be released on Friday, September 18, 2015. It contains the following changes:
MetaTrader 4 Client Terminal build 880
- Web Trading: The first web version of the trading platform has
been released. Trading and analytical features can now be be accessed
from a web browser! The web platform is safe to use - any transmitted
information is securely encrypted.

now be opened straight from the platform. A user does not need to enter
the account number, password and trade server name on the web page in
this case. This will be done automatically.

Password) provides an additional level of security for trading accounts.
The user is required to enter a unique one-time password every time to
connect to an account.
The OTP option is only available on the MetaQuotes-Demo server to date.
Go to the Settings of the mobile terminal and select OTP. For
security reasons, when the section is opened for the first time, a user
is requested to set a four-digit password. The password must be entered
every time to access the password generator.
- Change Password - change the generator password.
- Synchronize Time - synchronize the time of the mobile device with the reference server.

significantly expanded. A new command for opening specification details

- Margin percentage defines the charged percent of the basic
margin value, which is calculated in accordance with the instrument
type.

history now additionally contain information about the reason/source of
the placed order.
- Terminal: Hovering a mouse cursor on the group of applied
graphical objects now calls a tooltip of the last added object, i.e. the
top one. Before the correction, a tooltip of the last object in
alphabetical order was displayed.
- Terminal: Information about the PC hardware characteristics and
the operating system is now logged to a Journal at the start of the
client terminal. Example:

- MQL4: Fixed behavior of StringToTime during transmission of only
time without date as a string (e.g. "21:03"). Before the update, a date
corresponding to UTC was used for the date. Now it uses the current date

The update will be available through the LiveUpdate system.Web trading is already available in the new Trading section of the MQL5.community site. Later on you will be able to trade straight from your broker's website, because the web terminal can be easily integrated into a HTML page as a convenient widget using iframe.
Add a trade account: specify the number and the server name, and then enter the password to connect to it.
The interface of the web platform is similar to the desktop version and is therefore easy to understand. The following basic functions are currently available:The features of the web platform will be further expanded.
Trading accounts can be managed from the new "Trading Accounts" section of the user profile.To pay for hosting services, users don't need to log in to the MQL5.community account and add money to it. A payment for a service can now be transferred straight from the platform using one of the available payment systems.
Select one of the available systems and make an online money transfer:Similarly, a payment for a trading signal subscription can be made straight from the terminal via a payment system.
The required amount will be transferred to your MQL5.community account first, from which a payment for the service will be made. Thus you maintain a clear and unified history of rented virtual hosting platforms and signal subscriptions and can easily access and review all your payments for the MQL5.community services.
Web trading is only available on demo accounts of the MetaQuotes-Demo server to date. As soon as your broker updates the MetaTrader 4 platform and enables the web trading option on the server, you will be able to trade with your broker's account via the web terminal.
One-time passwords are generated in the MetaTrader 4 mobile terminals for iPhone or Android smartphones.
How to enable OTP
To start using one-time passwords, a trading account must be linked to a password generator, which is the MetaTrader 4 mobile terminals for iPhone and Android smartphones.
The new feature will be available on your brokers' trading servers after they update their MetaTrader 4 platform and enable the OTP option.
In the window that opens, select "Bind to account".
Next, specify the name of the server on which the trading account was opened, the account number and the master password to it. The "Bind" option should be kept enabled. It must be disabled, if the specified account needs to be unbound from the OTP generator to stop using one-time password.Once the "Bind" button at the top of the window is tapped, a trading account is bound to the generator, and an appropriate message appears.
Likewise, an unlimited number of accounts can be bound to the generator.The one-time password is displayed at the top of the OTP section. Underneath, a blue bar visualizes the password lifetime. Once the password expires, it is no longer valid, and a new password is generated.
Additional Commands:
The accuracy requirements are connected with the fact that the one-time password is linked to the current time interval, and this time should be the same on the client terminal and the server side.
How to Use OTP in the Desktop Terminal
After a trading account is bound to the OTP generator, a one-time password will be additionally requested during every connection to it from the desktop terminal:
To obtain the password, open the MetaTrader 4 mobile terminal on your smartphone, go to the OTP section and enter the verification code to receive the one-time password.
