Why is backtesting poor on MT4? I have been using it for years to back test strategies and has worked fine. I get 99% accuracy with tickstory data. I only got 1 year of data when I tried backtesting on Mt5
Well yes but tickstory is not part of mt4 but
3rd party paid product.

Anyone know if there are any plans for an MT6 or maybe MT4+ which has the features of MT5 but MT4 coding? It seems that most people still prefer MT4
Forget about mt4, development is being abandonded by crapware metaquotes company

Metaquotes should just abandon MT5 and go back to updating MT4. They need to face reality that Mt5 has not been a success. Go back to what people like and use incremental updates over the years
Yes but I think they would push mt5 by force instead

True; there have so many traders who are using the mt4 although they are trading based on automatic trading system!

MT5 is just a advanced version of MT4 with more features.

Being a Forex trader, I only use MT4. It’s really good in terms of its simplicity and flexibility.

I find MT4 very user more friendly. May be it is because I am accustomed to using MT4. But there are many who like MT5 as well. It's all about what you are comfort at.

- sucks at backtesting
MT5
- not easy to learn programming, old MT4 code does not work in mt5
- not so much programs and code developed already
- not so many brokers to select from
- excel at backtesting

I prefer trading MT4 over MT5, as I am more comfortable and find it user friendly.

I agree that MT4 is the best trading platform to trade forex. Whichever forex broker I use, it is only MT4 that I download.

I have only used MT4 so far. I never felt the need of changing the platform. It’s so easy to customize it and execute trades.
