Are you ready to give up MT4 for MT5 ? - page 8

 
graziani:
I missed this info, it took a while for mq to allow this, I don't know why they have been so stubborn...

Anyway few days ago I was considering giving another try to mt5 for development purposes when I realized that history debugging is finally possible 🙆.

So I guess another migration is on its way. Have you already started? Personally this is a PITA for me, as I have a huge codebase in MT4 so I am not sure whether I should just jump into it...

API must have changed, how bad is it ?
Is the history import possible already? I cannot migrate until I have my history data available in mt5...

I will check it soon, don't have time at the moment ...
History import and custom charts should be this summer according to Renat (Metaquotes CEO).
 
No
 
I think MQl5 is like windows vista, ill wait to MQL6 :p
 

No.

 ...

Please ask developers to create new new function for setting global variables to start numbers.

Like "ResetGlobalVariables()" (not variables of terminal) 

It will be very usefull.  

 
the only way I will get excited about MT5 is if it's completely 100% backwards compatible with MT4 + all the new features of MT5 otherwise it's always going to be no ... someone made a reference to Windows Vista, and that's exactly what MT5 is to me ... it's a VISTA of Forex, buggy, lacking, and simply too much headache to consider at this point

exactly ... we've all been there ... I just hope it doesn't get forced on us like the free Windows 10 auto-install LOL

The summer is over and still no news about history import. This is really annoying.

When history import happens I can really forget about MT4 and only use MT5 with Market Depth, 64 bit processing and so on.

In fact this promis is why I have been checking this site every day since. Though I am not sure if they meant this summer.

Yeah I know, I asked some updated information, but no reply till now.

Oh, I forgot about the Russian forum was the prime one. Ok, thanks, I can read Russian, though I cannot type. They have really weird keyboard layout.
