On Friday, September 26, 2025, an update of the Metatrader 5 (MT5) platform will be released.
The Build 5320 is the latest update to support Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2008. Starting from the next version, the desktop platforms performed on these operating systems will no longer receive updates. The only exception is the platforms performed under the wine.
In this update, developers have added a separate category of Code for Services. Now traders can easily share such MQL5 applications, as well as download them directly from the platform with automatic installation to the desired folder.
Metaquotes has also improved functions with input variables in MQL5. Now, using a separate parameter, you can specify a variable name that will appear in the properties of the program on the platform. Previously, the name was determined by comments, which was a less obvious method.
In addition, developers have made several improvements to the MQL5 compiler and Debugger and added terminal translations to the Internet to Romanian and Jewish.
Terminal: Added support for MQL5 service programs in Codebase.
Unlike expert consultants, indicators and scenarios, services are not linked to a particular graph. They run in the background and start automatically when the terminal starts. With the services, you can apply customized platform data flows, as well as perform a wide range of auxiliary duties.
These programs now have a special category. Developers can share their codebase codes:
Users can easily download them directly from the platform or carrier. Once obtained, the program is placed in the right folder, automatically drawn up and ready to be executed.
MQL5: Added support for new pension for input parameters. You can now expressly define a visible name that will appear in the program properties. Previously, this was only possible through comments.
