Get Ready to Meet New MetaTrader 4 with Updated MQL4 Language

The beta test of the new MetaTrader 4 version is currently underway. The update's main features include changes in MQL4 programming language. It has been substantially revised, and its functionality has been brought closer to that of MQL5.

Of course, we have made every effort to ensure compatibility with older MQL4 applications. However, some issues may still occasionally occur. If you have encountered an error while compiling a new code, please inform us in the appropriate thread of the official MQL4 forum.
We also urge you to pay special attention to the following points:
1) In the new build, the file structure for storing the source codes has changed. Previously, all MQL4 programs were stored in Program Files\<terminal_installation_folder>\ root directory. Now, they should be stored in Users\<data_folder>\MQL4\. Thus, if a program has an absolute pathname for some file, you may run into an error message in the compiler. To avoid this, specify a relative pathname in the source code and re-compile it. The data folder can be accessed via File -> Open Data Folder.

2) All old EX4 files will work correctly in the new terminal assuming that they are not changed. In order to maintain compatibility, the runtime environment copy of the previous MQL4 version has been implemented providing operability of all older codes.

Find out more about all changes in the new MetaTrader 4 build here. We strongly recommend that you have a close look at the provided material.

MetaTrader 5 Gateways & Connectivity :

MetaTrader 4 Build 600 with Updated MQL4 Language and Market of Applications Released

MetaTrader 4 Build 600 with Updated MQL4 Language and Market of Applications Released

Over the past 7 months since the release of the public build 509, we put in a lot of effort to improve MetaTrader 4 client terminal. MQL4 programming language for developing trading strategies has undergone the most significant changes - program execution speed has been increased, while the language itself has been brought closer to MQL5 to the maximum possible extent. This means that MQL4 trading robot developers can now also enjoy all the advantages of OOP: classes and structures, inheritance, Standard Library, resources and much more.
New MetaEditor provides such features as debugging, profiling, personal storage, autosubstitution of function names, snippets, inserting resources and intelligent code management.

The new MetaTrader 4 terminal features the Market - store of protected applications for MetaTrader 4 terminal. Now, any developer can put his or her own trading programs for sale on the unified application store, while traders can buy any product right from the terminal. All EX4 application files downloaded from the Market have the high level of protection similar to that of MQL5. MQL4 application developers can set the number of activations and prices for their products without worrying about the technical issues related to sales process - MetaTrader 4 Market will take care about the latter.

Due to changes in the file structure and location of the directory for storing custom files (indicators, Expert Advisors, scripts, templates, logs, etc.), all these data will be automatically moved to the new place during the update. Not a single custom file will be deleted during the process, and all original files will remain in their appropriate locations becoming backup copies. Find out more about that in the section Automatic Copying of MQL4 Programs When Updating from Older Builds below.

All custom executable EX4 files created by old MQL4 compiler will be automatically moved to the new Navigator directory and will work in the new terminal the same way as before.

MetaTrader 4 Now Features Market: Trading Robots Are Available to 7 Million Traders

---

LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today MetaQuotes Software Corp. has launched MetaTrader Market( MetaTrader 4 - MQL5 Market - Page 1 ) - the store of trading applications for traders. Millions of MetaTrader 4( MetaTrader 4 Trading Platform / MetaQuotes Software Corp. ) users have gained quick access to hundreds of ready-made trading robots and technical indicators right from the trading platform.

Despite the fact that the Market has been operational since February 2012, it has been available only to MetaTrader 5 users until now. Its great popularity( MetaTrader AppStore Results for Q3 2013 - MQL5 Articles ) among traders prompted developers to launch it on MetaTrader 4 as well. This is a large and promising market, as the total number of MetaTrader 4/5 users had passed the 7 million mark by 2013

"MetaTrader 5 users have already appreciated the Market - trading robots are sold and purchased there at full swing. The activity in MetaTrader 4 section will definitely be even higher, since traders have long been asking for this opportunity. Anticipating our users' future demands, we further intend to add other categories of digital content. We are committed to turning MetaTrader Market into a place where users can find all the tools necessary for successful trading," says Renat Fatkhullin, CEO of MetaQuotes Software Corp.

In order to launch the MetaTrader 4 application store, the developers have expanded the functionality of the MQL4 language( MQL4 Tutorial ) and significantly upgraded the tools of trading robot developers. Now, MQL4 offers greater features, increased execution speed, tighter quality control and a high level of security.

MetaTrader Market operates similarly to Apple's App Store: it has plenty of free products, while the payment system and efficient protection mechanisms are used when buying paid ones. Like in App Store, all products purchased are bound to a user's account. It is also quite simple to become a seller - applications can be sold by any individual or entity.

And this is very inportant thread in mql4.com forum :

MetaTrader 4 Build 600 with Updated MQL4 Language and Market of Applications Released

[newdigital]

Just good post found on mql4.com forum (related to set files) :

There is an issue about old .set files in Build 600

The boolean values "true" and "false" are flipped to "1" and "0".

If the dropdown in the "Load" dialog is activated, the "1" and "0" is gone and no element of the dropdown is selected.

This means: All old .set files have to be double checked before using any EA on any build >= 600 currently.
