They're making good on their promise about MT5 too:

Russian software developer MetaQuotes said on Friday it has launched an updated version of the Empty4 5 (MT5) trading platform, which includes upgrades to the Array functions, among other things.

The developer has added a new ArrayPrint function, which prints simple types and structures to the array log. The function does not print all fields of a structure array to logs – array fields and pointer fields of objects are skipped. For this, a custom function for mass printing is needed.

Even with all the updates I can't see how they'll force people to move on from Empty4 to MT5.

MetaQuotes Software, the developer of the most popular retail forex trading platform Empty4 4 (Empty4), continues to hike support fees for the platform in an attempt to promote its successor Empty4 5 (MT5). According to publications of the Finance Magnates site, MetaQuotes has sent its clients a letter informing them that it is raising the monthly technical support fees for every additional Empty4 server by about one third. As per the letter, the new pricing will be applicable for new orders for additional Empty4 servers and the activation of inactive servers. The monthly payments for technical support of the already activated.

Important Update for Empty4 4 build 1080

The Empty4 4 platform update will be released on May 12, 2017. We strongly recommend that you install this update.

A month ago, Microsoft released a major update of their operating system Windows 10 Creators Update (version 1703). After installing this update, some users were unable to run MQL4 programs in their terminals. This issue has been fixed in the new Empty4 4 platform build 1080. Now, Expert Advisors and indicators will run on charts correctly, while recompilation using the updated MetaEditor is not required.


Support for Empty4 4 client terminal versions below 1065 will be discontinued on the 1st of October 2017. Unsupported terminal builds will not be able to connect to new server versions. We strongly recommend that you update your terminals in advance.

The update will be available through the LiveUpdate system.

Support for Windows XP/Windows 2003/Windows Vista to be discontinued after 01 October 2017


Windows XP was released almost 16 years ago, on 25th of October, 2001. It is now considered to be an outdated operating system. Microsoft stopped supporting this system 3 years ago, because potential hardware capabilities could no longer be realized on Windows XP due to technical limitations.

Being an outdated system, Windows XP features a number of dangerous vulnerabilities, one of which was recently revealed by the WannaCry encryptor. That is why:

The Empty4 platforms will no longer support Windows XP, Windows 2003 and Windows Vista after 01 October 2017.

Older versions of Empty4 4 and Empty4 5 will continue to work on these systems, but will not be able to receive updates after 01 October 2017. Also, installers will not run on these operating systems.
The minimum required operating system version for running Empty4 4/5 will be Windows 7. However, we strongly recommend using the 64-bit versions of Windows 10.

Ignoring the problem does not make it go away.

In a period of time, Empty4 will stop working and only MT5 will remain.
In this forum you are not building code for MT5.

I advise you to build the new code mql4, as close as possible to the mql5 code.
To be able to make the transformation easy, and the transition to MT5 is not very traumatic.

We have a great job ahead of us, to convert all the useful codes to MT5.
The code for MT5 requires greater programming skills.
There will be less shared code from now on.

What is your intention trying to spread panic with your first post? There is no missile approaching Hawaii.

That said, let me assure you something: Empty4 will be there for a long time. Crapperquotes still supports it, develops fixes and sells terminal licenses. And when they really wanna force their customers into CrapT5, there will be a Empty4 emulation mode in CrapT5 or (third-party) libraries that do the trick. I am absolutely sure. Every other strategy would be suicide and some EA programmers would say they deserved it.

So calm down and dont become too cheeky.

Cheers

Hard times are approaching, which will change the retail trade of forex and other markets.
For the actions of many countries and regulators, which we now begin to know.
We can see the actions of France and other countries.
In Japan and other countries the leverage has been reduced to 10: 1.
New market regulations in Europe that will lead to a 30: 1 leverage for less volatile products.
And only 5: 1 in the most volatile products.
Prohibition or strict regulation of CFD.
Increase the prohibition of binary options, in more number of countries.
Increase of the regulation of Crypto currencies, or the total prohibition in many countries and many regulators of the market.


I still think that the Empty4 user community is ignoring the actions of the metaquotes company.
They have closed the forum Forex-tsd.com, of their property, because it was mainly dedicated to the programming for Empty4.
Prohibit new publications for mql4, in the forum of metaquotes.
They prohibit the access to Empty4 of new brokers, and they will not sell new licenses of servers for Empty4.
Soon we will see that brokers will not open new Empty4 accounts.


My professional activity is 100% in the forex. My experience is 9 years.
Now I'm only interested in EA programming, for Empty4.
I have worked many months to improve the compatibility of my code with mt5.
I still do not have mt5 accounts, and I will resist only with Empty4 until the end.
My code is built with independent functions, which can work in the mt5 code.

My proposal is totally positive.
In the new Empty4 code constructions, do it as closely as possible to the mt5 code.
So that the conversion of the code is easy and that it does not need the total rewriting of the code.

Although it appears as the first publication, it is not true.
A few years ago, I started to publish, and I made some criticism to the user activity jlcgarcia.
At that time Jlcgarcia was administrator of the forum, and deleted all my publications and was banned at the IP level.
So I could not access with another username.
My criticisms were completely correct, and subsequently he was expelled from the forum, for his bad arts.
Currently most of the time I can not access the forum, because I enter the internet through the IP of another machine. And it forbids me the previous analysis they do on the page.
That's why I could not be an active contributor to the forum.
I hope other programmers can do it.
