MetaTrader 5 (MT5) has unveiled build 4150, presenting traders and investors with a host of exciting enhancements.
This latest version boasts improved reporting functionality and the integration of cutting-edge machine learning methods into MQL5, promising a more efficient and insightful trading experience.
One of the standout features of this update is the introduction of dedicated Forex cloud solutions, complete with stable and rapid cross-border connections to handle high-demand scenarios.
Traders can now export their trading reports directly from the platform to HTML and PDF files. Sharing their achievements with colleagues and investors has never been easier, thanks to the new export commands in the File and report menus.
MT5 now empowers users to save the current state of the Market Watch window into a CSV file.
By selecting ‘Export’ in the context menu, traders can preserve specific metrics at the time of export. Furthermore, extra columns can be added via the context menu, allowing for even more data to be included in the exported file.
The presentation of margin requirements in contract specifications has received an upgrade, offering final margin values instead of ratios and initial parameters.
However, it’s worth noting that the margin is calculated based on the instrument price when the specification window is opened, without real-time updates.
Traders can recalculate values based on current prices by reopening the instrument specification.
This update also bids farewell to support for the Signals service for demo accounts.
Instead, traders can access enhanced statistics on their training accounts using the new trading report.
This report provides various metrics that characterize strategy profitability and risks, including growth, balance, equity graphs, trade distribution diagrams, and more.
In the realm of the MQL5 programming language, users can now harness new methods tailored for machine learning operations.
These methods include Confusion Matrix, Confusion Matrix Multi label, Classification Metric, and Classification Score, all designed to facilitate error analysis and data evaluation.
Moreover, the MQL5 programming language has undergone enhancements such as improved data saving to UTF-8 formatted text files through the File Write function.
Additionally, Signal functions have been deprecated and replaced with empty signal sets.
Profiling in the Meta Editor has also received a boost, with a higher sampling rate of 10,000 times per second, allowing for more precise measurement of function execution rates.
In conclusion, the MT5 build 4150 update not only addresses various issues like freezing in generic optimization mode, profit calculation errors, and display problems but also introduces significant improvements.
Traders are encouraged to update their MetaTrader 5 platforms promptly to enjoy these enhancements and bug fixes, ensuring a smoother and more effective trading experience.
