Public beta testing starts on 12. October!

On 12th October MetaTrader 5 and MQL5 will be released to the public for beta testing! 

Since there is only a week left I will add some more technical information about MetaTrader5 and MQL5 in the nearest future. Stay tuned! 

MQL5 closed beta testing

Since 9 September 2009 Metatrader 5 and MQL5 are in closed beta testing stage and the platform should be available to greater public (public beta) in a few weeks.
Help file for MQL5 is still under development, and there is heavy discussion going on in russian part of Metatrader forum on Metaquotes(r) website.
As you can see my blog is still in early stage of development, more information will be put after MQL5 is released to public.

First MQL5 code ever published!

Yes, this is true, the first MQL5 code can be found in MQL code base!!! I am very pleased to see the source, as there are many similarities to C++ language. Here comes the example class definition: (Copyright MetaQuotes 2009, MetaQuotes Software Corp.  http://www.metaquotes.net):





As we can see there are private and public specifiers and a class constructor: CTetrisField.

There is something that may look like a pointer, but apparently this is a handle:

m_shape = new CTetrisShape1;

We will be able to invoke methods by eg. m_shape.Draw();

Still excited and looking forward to BETA MT5 with MQL5 release!!!


MetaTrader5 is on the way!


According to MQL forum, public beta version should be available in June 2009.

Keep on Trading!
