31 May 2024

MetaEditor

  1. Added Welcome page to assist users in starting their journey with algorithmic trading and application development.



    Materials for beginners
    The "Introduction" section presents educational materials available on MQL5.com: language documentation, books, articles, developer forums and code base library. It also introduces services where you can apply and monetize your knowledge: the applications market, freelance and trading signals.

    In the documentation and books sections, you can find a more detailed description of the available learning materials.

    Useful features for developers
    The "What's New" section offers a collection of essential information to keep developers up-to-date:


    Additionally, you will find here a list of recently opened files for quick access.



    For users actively selling their applications in the Market, the "My Sales" report offers an invaluable tool for assessing their performance. It provides access to:

    • Comprehensive sales and download statistics over time.
    • Sales geography, offering insights into regions where your products have the highest popularity. This can suggest ideas for further project expansion, such as localization into specific languages or targeted advertising campaigns in particular regions.
    • Data on top-selling products based on sales volume and revenue generated. The graph can be filtered based on license type: full or rental for a certain duration. Additionally, you can see here a graph with product price changes. All of this will help you understand your customers.
    • Detailed download and sales statistics for each product.


  2. Improved built-in search. The top search bar is now used exclusively for searching text within the current document or in local files. For a global search through educational materials and codes, use a separate section in the Toolbox.


  3. Added support for GPT-4o, the latest ChatGPT model, in Copilot. It can be used to automatically complete code and get hints. You can select the new model in the MetaEditor settings.


  4. Updated user interface translations.
