The Latest from MQL
On May 23, 2024, MQL released the latest version 1420 of Meta Trader 4, accompanied by a vague announcement about fixing security bugs in this version.
MQL and Product Protection
MQL seems to be intensifying the protection of their products against excessive unlocking. Notably, products such as Unlocked EA/Indicator can no longer operate on this version without DLL. In reality, users often prefer versions without DLL for their convenience and similarity to regular EA. However, MQL has fixed their unprotected products.
Threats from EA Scams
However, MQL cannot yet protect their customers from EA scams such as reading history, fake histories, and inflated products. So how can we know which EAs are really good before buying the official product?
How to Handle the Issue
- Use version 1415 and overwrite the new version. The limitation of this method is that after a while, Brokers may no longer accept the old version. However, this is a temporary solution (New update, versions below 1420 can no longer be used, so please find EAs that have source or have been updated to 1420 from our website)
- Buy updated EAs with 1420 here, or send us your EAs and we will update them to work with build 1420, at a good price..
- Use EAs with DLL. Although more troublesome, they work well.
- Use EAs with source code or buy the official version of EA.
Conclusion
Finally, be patient and wait. If there are any EAs/Indicators that really help you make money, find the author and buy them from him. We strongly encourage this. Unlocked products only help you test them with a small amount of money to see if the EA/Indicator works as advertised or not.
