MetaTrader 5新功能

Five months ago, we reported on 500 000 users of MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 mobile platforms. By April 2013, this number has doubled reaching the level of one million mobile MetaTrader users! Such a good momentum clearly shows that our mobile applications are in demand among the widest possible audience.

"We are greatly encouraged by reaching the level of one million users of MetaTrader mobile platforms. This means that we are on the right track, and our solutions meet the needs of traders" - comments Gaies Chreis, COO of MetaQuotes Software Corp.   

The statistical data has been gathered during the year from the time when MetaQuotes IDs were introduced in the mobile terminals. These unique identifiers allowed us to determine the exact amount of actually used mobile terminals.

9. Changed the algorithm for calculation of the copied deal's volume in case a Signal Source and a Subscriber have different leverages:

   Current algorithm:A deal volume is changed in direct ratio to the correlation of a Signal Source's leverage with a Subscriber's one. It means that if a Signal Source having a leverage of 1:100 opens a deal of 1 lot, a Subscriber having a leverage of 1:500 will open a deal of 5 lots in case of 100% copying and a deposit matching by size and currency. A subscriber having a leverage of 1:10 will open a deal of 0.1 lots in similar conditions.

   New algorithm:If subscriber's leverage exceeds the one of the Signal Source, it does not affect a volume of a copied deal. Otherwise, the deal volume is changed in direct ratio to the correlation of a Signal Source's leverage with a Subscriber's one.

   It means that if a Signal Source having a leverage of 1:100 opens a deal of 1 lot, a Subscriber having a leverage of 1:500 will open a deal of 1 lot in case of 100% copying and a deposit matching by size and currency. A subscriber having a leverage of 1:10 will open a deal of 0.1 lots in similar conditions.

The MetaTrader 5 for Android can be downloaded at https://download.mql5.com/cdn/mobile/mt5/android?hl=en&utm_source=www.metatrader5.com

Over half a million of traders from all over the world currently use MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 mobile terminals in their trading activity. This figure is the most objective proof of the high quality and functionality of the mobile applications developed by MetaQuotes Software Corp.

83 000 traders use MetaTrader 5 terminals, while 418 000 traders use MetaTrader 4. This statistical data includes the terminals both for iPhone and Android devices. Though both mobile platforms have almost similar functionality, the wider popularity of MetaTrader 4 is obvious. This can be explained by widespread distribution of the platform on the market.

"We are glad that we managed to release the applications that have become so popular. Positive statistical data suggests that we are on the right track, and we should continue our development in this direction" - said Gaies Chreis, company COO.

The statistical data has been gathered during the last six months from the time when MetaQuotes ID was introduced in the mobile terminals. These unique identifiers have been designed to send service messages to traders' terminals. They also allow defining the number of actually used terminals. MetaQuotes ID is assigned to a mobile terminal only when it is launched. In other words, statistics consider only the terminals that have been actually launched and used.

Download and, most importantly, use MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 mobile terminals. Have a nice trend!

Trading Terminal

In case of the signals' absence, the ones installed on MetaQuotes demo server are displayed. Select "Full Signal List" in the signals context menu to see the complete signal list.

   
   

4. Added limitation on subscription to trading signals. Subscription to signals with leverage exceeding 1:100 is not permitted. This has been done to prevent users from subscribing to unreasonably risky strategies.
5. Fixed automatic transformation of EURUSD* type Forex trading symbols. If a signals source has positions at EURUSD! symbol, while a subscriber trades on EURUSD (or vice versa), the terminal will automatically detect the similarity of the trading symbols changing their names when copying the signal.
6. Fixed the warning dialog about the automatic synchronization of positions with a trading signal in case of several re-synchronizations within one working session of the terminal.

MQL5

1. Fixed an error causing the inability to create an indicator using IndicatorCreate function.

2. Added display of active orders and signal positions in the signal's description.

   

3. Added the dialog of consent to synchronize positions on a subscriber's account with signal's ones in case of a positive floating profit on a signal provider's account:

   

   By default, synchronization is allowed only if the floating profit on the provider's account is not positive. This ensures that the signal subscriber can enter the market at a price that is not worse than the provider's one during synchronization of positions. Thus, the appropriate dialog window is shown before synchronization where traders can enable forced synchronization of positions with the signal, despite the positive floating profit.

4. Added the dialog of automatic closing of positions and orders on a subscriber's account before synchronizing with signal provider's positions and orders:

   

   Before synchronization, subscribers should close positions and remove orders opened manually or based on another signal. If open positions or pending orders unrelated to the provider's signals are detected, the client terminal will offer to remove all pending orders and close all positions automatically at the current price. However, traders can perform all necessary actions manually.

MQL5

1. Added support of template functions and methods.
   
   Templates can be compared with a macro (#define) representing an entire function instead of an expression. A template is inserted into the code in case the template function is called based on this call's parameters.
   A separate function (with its own static variables) is added by the compiler for each of the existing sets of the template function call's parameters present in the code.
   
   Example of the template function for calculation of the array's highest value:

   template<typename T>                       // В < > указываются параметры шаблона через запятую, не более 8.
   T ArrayMax(const T &data[],const T defval) // В качестве параметра может выступать только тип
     {
      T    result=defval;
      uint size  =ArraySize(data);
   //---
      for(uint i=0;i<size;i++)
        {
         if(result<data[i])
           {
            result=data[i];
           }
        }
   //---
      return(result);
     }

   Keep in mind that automatic reduction of parameters is not allowed when a template function is called. The parameter type should be clearly defined. For example, when calling ArrayMax function for char type array and CHAR_MIN as defval, the second parameter's type should be clearly defined as char:

   char a[];
      
      Print(ArrayMax(a,CHAR_MIN));       // ошибка, невозможно применить шаблон, т.к. T может быть или char или int
      Print(ArrayMax(a,(char)CHAR_MIN)); // ошибки нет, параметр шаблона T может быть только char

   Number of template parameters cannot exceed 8. Insertion of templates into the code is performed only by call parameters, evident template typification is not performed.
   Example of evident typification:

   Print(ArrayMax<char>(a,CHAR_MIN));  // Явная типизация шаблона пока не доступна!

2. Enhanced integer properties received by CLGetInfoInteger function:
   
   
   • CL_DEVICE_VENDOR_ID  - OpenCL device vendor ID
   • CL_DEVICE_MAX_COMPUTE_UNITS  - number of OpenCL device computational units
   • CL_DEVICE_MAX_CLOCK_FREQUENCY - frequency of OpenCL device computational units
   • CL_DEVICE_GLOBAL_MEM_SIZE - size of the global memory of OpenCL device
   • CL_DEVICE_LOCAL_MEM_SIZE - size of the local memory of OpenCL device
     
     
3. Added CLGetInfoString returning the following OpenCL properties:
   
   
   • CL_PLATFORM_PROFILE - OpenCL platform profile type
   • CL_PLATFORM_VERSION - OpenCL platform version
   • CL_PLATFORM_NAME - OpenCL platform name
   • CL_PLATFORM_VENDOR - OpenCL platform vendor name
   • CL_PLATFORM_EXTENSIONS - OpenCL platform possibilities (extensions)
   • CL_DEVICE_NAME - OpenCL device name
   • CL_DEVICE_VENDOR - OpenCL device vendor name
   • CL_DRIVER_VERSION - OpenCL device driver version
   • CL_DEVICE_PROFILE - OpenCL device profile type
   • CL_DEVICE_VERSION - OpenCL device version
   • CL_DEVICE_EXTENSIONS  - OpenCL device possibilities (extensions)
   • CL_DEVICE_OPENCL_C_VERSION - supported version of OpenCL compiler
4. Added CLExecute overload function allowing users to specify dimensions of OpenCL local space of tasks.
5. Fixed ArrayFill function operation.
6. Removed warning when using an uninitialized variable in sizeof() function.
7. Improved  __FUNCSIG__ macro - added notification of the fact that parameters are arrays, as well as of their constancy.
8. Standard Library. Fixed CCanvas::FillRectangle method.
9. Standard Library. The classes for working with files are transformed using template methods.

1. Added the tester's compatibility with Wine.
2. Added additional checks for disk errors during the tests.
3. Fixed generation of week bars for trading symbols with a quote session on Sundays.
4. Fixed generation of week and month bars - the bar time has sometimes been set incorrectly.
5. Cloud agent having less than 100 megabytes of available disk space cannot execute the tasks.
6. Removed log messages on charging commission during optimization.
7. Fixed settings dialog behavior when testing an indicator.
8. Fixed optimization chart display in case of a large number of passes.

Trading Terminal

1. The MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal has been integrated with the MQL5.Signals service. Now every MQL5 account holder can subscribe to trading Signals Sources, including the Automated Trading Championship 2012 participants.

   Moreover, the Client Terminal will copy trading signals with minimum delays according to the signal settings.

   

   

   

   One trading account on the broker's trade server can be subscribed to only one Signals Source at a time. To change the Signals Source, the active subscription has to be revoked.

   Before the Signal is copied, client's positions undergo the initial synchronization with the positions of the Signals Source. There shall be no orders or positions in the client account of the Subscriber that were opened by the client or based on the Signal from another Signals Source. Moreover, the initial synchronization is only possible in case the total floating profit of the Signals Source is not positive, thus the Subscriber will enter the market at the price which is not worse than that at which the Signals Source entered the market.

   The synchronization initiates the opening of the client's positions in the same direction and trading instrument as the positions of the Signals Source. The opening position volume is determined according to the money management settings. The positions are opened using market orders with slippage specified in the settings. SL and TP levels are also copied, unlike pending orders that are not copied.

   Further copying of the Signal is subject to successful synchronization the results of which are recorded in the terminal log labeled "Signal".

   Following the successful initial synchronization, new transactions in the account of the Signals Source are copied again by performing the same transactions in the client account of the Subscriber using market orders. The order volume and slippage are determined according to the settings. Changes in the SL and TP levels for open positions are also copied. All actions associated with the copying of the signal are recorded in the terminal log labeled "Signal".

   The copying of signals does not provide for the possibility of concurrent trading either manually or using an Expert Advisor. Any results of copying the signal are incalculable after such interference.

   If an error occurs when copying the signal - connection failure, order placing error, etc. - the account will again be synchronized with the Signals Source.

   The signal settings require the specification of the money management, i.e. the algorithm for determining the volume of transactions with respect to the volume of transactions of the Signals Source:

   • Automatic - the volume is determined in proportion to the Subscriber's and Signals Source's balance ratio.
   • Percentage based - the volume is determined as a specified percentage of the signal's volume in the Signals Source.
   
   

   Trading operations are performed with a permissible slippage set by the "Slippage" parameter that is expressed in spreads of a trading instrument.
   The copying of the signal will stop automatically if Equity falls below the level specified in the settings. All previously opened positions will in this case get closed.

2. Fixed setting SL and TP values in the position modification dialog for instruments with a fixed tick size.
3. Fixed handling commands for arranging chart windows horizontally and vertically
4. Fixed the display of the purchased Product list in MQL5.Market.

Trading Terminal

1. Added quick position closing and orders deletion by a single mouse click.
   Click the cross in "Profit" column of orders and positions list to close a position or remove a pending order.

   

   If "One-click trading" option is enabled in the terminal settings, position will be closed immediately at the current price (order will be removed). If the option is disabled or quick closing is impossible (for example, for trading symbols having Request Execution type), the standard position closing (order removal) dialog will appear.

3. Fixed working with Expert Advisors tree in "Navigator" window.
4. Fixed possible failure of downloading products from MQL5.Market.
5. Updated translation of the interface into Japanese.

MQL5

1. Changed the order of calling the constructor of an object returned by the function:
   Formerly, the constructor has been called by default before the function returning an object, while the copy operator has been called inside the function for return.
   Now, the appropriate constructor, copy constructor or default constructor calling the copy operator are called in return operator for an object returned from the function.
2. Fixed a typo in one of the ENUM_SERIES_INFO_INTEGER enumeration values (SERIES_SYNCRONIZED -> SERIES_SYNCHRONIZED). Please make changes in the codes where the value is used.
3. Fixed working with constant pointers.

8. Added guaranteed transfer of the complete agent's log during the tests.

MetaEdtor

1. MetaEditor: Added support for projects in MQL5.com
   
   Projects allow programmers to develop MQL5 applications in teams. Teamwork is performed via MQL5 Storage. It means that a user should have an active account on MQL5.community and connect to MQL5 Storage.

   

   Projects folder in MQL5 directory has been implemented for common projects. It is shown in blue in Navigator.
   Despite the fact that Projects folder is located inside MQL5, the projects are located separately from the user's personal directory (https://storage.mql5.com/svn/Personal/<MQL5.community account>/MQL5).
   All projects are stored in a separate section https://storage.mql5.com/svn/Projects/
   
   The top-level directory in Projects folder is considered to be a project. Therefore, a new folder should be created in Projects section to create a project. Use "New Folder" option to create the new folder, select it and click "Create Project" in the context menu.
   The project will be created. Reports on successful project creation will be displayed in MetaEditor's journal.
   
   Access to each project is set only by a project author (a user who created it).
   To start a teamwork on a project, you should allow other users to access it. Click "Add Permission" in the context menu of a created project folder and add a new user by specifying his or her MQL5.community login.

   

2. Click "Checkout" in "Projects" folder context menu to upload available projects. The projects will be uploaded from the storage. All further operations with them are similar to the ones with conventional files assigned to MQL5 Storage.

3. Fixed MetaStyler operation - considering interline alignment for the lines beginning from #.
4. Fixed errors occurred when working with MQL5.Strorage.
5. Fixed display of parameters of class methods in MetaAssist when addressing via this.

Fixed errors reported in crash logs.

6. Fixed search on MQL5.com website when working in older Windows XP versions.
7. Updated translation of the client terminal into Bulgarian.

MQL5

1. Added request_id field in MqlTradeResult structure - a unique identifier of the terminal trade request during a network session.
   
   This field is filled by the client terminal when a trade request is successfully sent to the server. Further on, this field is filled in result parameter of OnTradeTransaction entry point. Therefore, the opportunity of clear comparison of OrderSend and OrderSendAsync functions calling with getting the trade request results at OnTradeTransaction entry point is provided.

2. Added compatibility of ex5 programs with DLLs created using .NET.
3. Fixed optimization of the functions that return the structures.
4. Added operation signs in the profiler mode:
   • IS_PROFILE_MODE - macros determining MQL5 program compilation in the profiling mode
   • MQL5_PROFILER - new value of ENUM_MQL5_INFO_INTEGER enumeration - determining the programs operation in the profiler mode. MQL5InfoInteger function should be used to get the value.
5. Disabled inlining of large volume functions leading to excessively large EX5 files.
6. Standard Library. Added SetTransparentLevel transparency management method to CCanvas class.
7. Added the new sinput (static input) key word preventing manual input of values for searching an input parameter during optimization.
8. Added ParameterSetRange(string name, bool enable, double value, double start, double step, double stop) function, which allows redefining the very possibility of searching the values, as well as the range of searched values before launching the optimization. The function can be called only from OnTesterInit handler. The function can also be applied to the input parameters protected by sinput key word.
9. Added ParameterGetRange(string name,bool& enable, double& value, double& start, double& step, double &stop) function. It can be called from OnTesterPass and OnTesterDeinit handlers.

MetaEditor

1. Fixed automatic saving of all open files before the compilation.
2. Added the snippet for OnTradeTransaction entry point.

   For ease of writing code, MetaEditor provides the possibility to insert snippets — small template fragments of source code describing a particular construction of the MQL5 language. Insertion of a snippet is initialized by typing the keyword. After you type the keyword the cursor is changed to "Snippet available". To insert a snippet, you should press "Tab". For more information about working with snippets please read the MetaEditor Help.

   The key word for OnTradeTransaction entry point is OnTradeTransaction.
   
   
3. MQL5.Storage - fixed MQL5 Storage errors related to determining the presence of changes.
4. Fixed results display for the "inline" code in the profiler.
5. Fixed search on MQL5.com website when working in older Windows XP versions.

Strategy Tester

1. Removed the limit of 63 simultaneously optimized parameters.

   All input parameters can now be included for optimization (the number of input parameters is limited by 1024). It means that the space that can have the maximum value to be written in the integer 1024-bit value can be used in the genetic search for the optimal parameters. The protocol of data transfer between the terminal and tester agents has been changed for big indices of the optimized variants.

   Therefore, all previous versions of tester agents will not be able to connect to the cloud network and (or) the client terminal because of the protocol change and will be updated automatically via LiveUpdate system.
   
   
2. Fixed an error leading to incorrect saving of genetic optimization snapshot. The error occurred only on the "fast" mathematical optimizations.
3. Fixed report on test results when determining losses and profits sequences.
4. Fixed crash of the client terminal when deactivating the tester agents.
   
   Fixed errors reported in crash logs.
