The latest beta version of the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform will be released on Friday, February 23, 2024.
In beta version 4210, the standard terminal includes 28 new trading robots and 12 technical indicators. They will help you learn the MQL5 language and develop your own trading strategies. Also, this build provides improvements to the display of margin requirements in symbol specifications. Another innovation is the ability to automatically turn off the platform after completing script operations using configuration files. This allows various one-time tasks to be performed without using additional computer resources.
New features for working with ONNX machine learning models have been added in MQL5. With these functions, you can insert parameters like Float16 and Float8 into models.
MetaEditor has an improved built-in search. Online and local search results now appear in separate tabs for convenience. The developers have also added the search feature for the recently released book “MQL5 Programming for Traders”.
MetaQuotes invites all traders to participate in the tests in order to evaluate the updated features of the platform and help the developers to fix bugs. To update the MetaTrader 5 platform to the new beta version, go to Help \ Check for desktop updates \ Latest beta version:
The final version of the new MetaTrader 5 platform will be released after the public beta test.
The update will include the following changes:
- Terminal: Added 28 new Expert Advisors and 12 new indicators to the basic platform package. Applications are available under Expert Advisors\Free Robots and Indicators\Free Indicators in the Navigator. Each program is available as source code with detailed comments to help you learn the MQL5 language.
The robots implement trading strategies based on technical indicators and candlestick patterns such as 3 Black Crows – 3 White Soldiers, Bullish Engulfing – Bearish Engulfing, Bullish Harami – Bearish Harami and others. The new indicators are implementations of popular channels: Camarilla, DeMark, Donchian, Fibonacci and Keltner, among others.
- Terminal: Preparations are underway to launch Nasdaq market data subscriptions. From the platform, traders will be able to access real-time prices and deep price histories for hundreds of financial instruments from one of the largest exchanges. Subscriptions will be available to any user who has a demo account on the MetaQuotes-Demo server and an MQL5.community account.
To get started, you only need to purchase a subscription and add the relevant symbols to your Market Watch. You can use these symbols as regular instruments: open charts, analyze them using objects and indicators, and run Expert Advisors in the strategy controller. Access to all information applies as for the usual financial instruments with which you work with a broker.
- MQL5: Developers continue to expand support for ONNX models.
Machine learning tasks do not always require greater computational precision. To speed up calculations, some models use lower precision data types such as Float16 and even Float8.
