Lol Truly Our trading can't be updated either by Mt5 or even Mt6 or Empty 7 so so. To get a trader broker is important who give regular withdrawals, security of money and provide fast execution of trades. Now damn Mt5 up-gradation , what are new to benefit us?

We, only second class traders(no crime to anyone..it's true)less than 50000$ funding base exchange with Mt4 and it is mostly popularized due to indiors.

Now Mt4 will go for sure , sooner or later. But we want independent information feed for mt4. I believe we should now focus the way to import external information into Mt4 or perhaps Mt5 information to Mt4.

You won't get one and that's good. Even in the event that you get decompiled code you'll have no clue how to migrate into mq5.
I am going to wait patiently about your tales the way you've ripped off from different scam artists that they claiming to have the ability to decompile. Who not respect other people IP is the perfect victim for these and deserve the looses into them.

Just to reinforce what Jensitzig pointed out in post 268, most MQL4 code will compile and run under MQL5. Of course you have to have the source code. All my indiors compiled without error and implemented nice with no modifiion. So far as EAs, all mine were failures like the majority of everyone else's, so I had no interest in them going forward.

The new code I'm writing is targeted for MQL5 and it has not been a challenge to learn the new features up to now.

Something to think about. Code rust is suffered by all code. It quickly deteriorates after a couple of mods or becomes out date out of lack of incorporating new capabilities. Some rot is evident after two decades. After five, it's extremely clear and rapidly creates technical debt when left untouched. After ten decades, it likely can't be salvaged and needs a total rewrite. I'm guessing, but I believe the majority MQL4 code is 5 to 10 years old, therefore it needs upgrading / replacement anyhow.

Metaquotes is doing the ideal thing in the ideal manner - at least from a technical point of view . Microsoft abandoned NT since it needed to and the new Windows 10 is the best version by far. I pity those who stuck with NT. We'll be state exactly the identical thing about Metaquotes in five decades. Traders of course have another point of view, but in the comments I have read, the changes won't affect the majority.

From technical standpoint you very correct. This somewhat up-gradation will last, we can anticipate windows 20 in next years..okay and same with Metaquote..may be Meta trader 10. I found no problem in putting trades equally in Mt4 and Mt5. I even traded with other platforms out there. Being an trader my objective is just profit and less loss right? So very large end terminal always mess trading up and trading isn't a rocket science. I welcome improvement but no terminal can make trading a profitable version , but Metaquotes must allow aged indiors to work with Mt5 seamlessly ( function-ability should be same, not just proprietor change).

Because you said

100% right. Major are looser. So be it Mt5 or even Mt20 . .no problem . It has impact on those who survived with profit in last 10 years using Mt4 but when Mt4 exists . .coders,developers loosing revenue . So today Metaquotes being more favorable for coders but less for traders at-least for those who traded with Metaquotes earlier versions(with consistent profits).

MQL5 code is quite simple to work with, and also the new platform cannot possibly be worse that MT4...

Concerning rewrite / switching from mq4 into mq5 out of those thousands of indiors and EAs which were composed in mq4 only a small tiny number of these (I'm being generous) are of any worth.

Yes, that is a fantastic point. Thousands of worthless indiors and EAs are construct. That is like Darwinism for them, only the strong and worthy will be transformed (hopefully).

I am affraid not.
If it had been so simple to know the worth of an indior, this skimming procedure would have already started beneath MT4.

That is not the good indior that stays in the business, that's the good trader and the hooked loser.

Honestly don't exists bad or good indiors. Good or poor traders. You've got folks can be profitable with a naked charts. And you've it could be profitable with charts like Christmas tree. Really it's more a plogy thing as how tools alter your perception about how much control you've trading...
