I have only the best impressions from trading with Alpari. They did not deviate from the agreement. Why I'm not with them now? Acorn were good till bread was found.

MT4 builds below 600 no longer supported

Hi everyone,

From Friday, 1 August 2014 MetaTrader 4 (MT4) builds below 600 for desktop will no longer be supported.

This means that if you are using a build below 600, you will no longer be able to trade or connect to your broker.

We highly recommend that you upgrade to the latest build of MT4 for uninterrupted trading. The new build features a completely revised MQL4 language, capable of running the latest trading apps.

How do I know what build I’m using?

To check what build of MT4 you’re using go to Help > About from the platform’s toolbar. The build number will be displayed in the bottom-left of the About window.

How do I upgrade to the latest build?

Before you upgrade, we recommend you back up your Expert Advisors, indicators, libraries, profiles and template folders to a safe location. During the upgrade your current folders will be saved to a different location and may be difficult to locate.

Please follow the below steps to back up your folders and download the latest MT4 platform build:

1. Find these folders on your PC. The below table shows where these folders are typically saved:

2. Save these folders to your PC’s desktop.

3. Upgrade the platform to the latest build.

When you log in to MT4 you should receive an automatic prompt asking you to upgrade – click ‘Yes’ to upgrade to the latest build. Alternatively, you can download the latest build here.

Once MT4 is upgraded, you’ll need to copy your saved folders to a new location.

1. Log in to the platform and go to File > Open data folder > MQL4 folder

The MQL4 folder will show you where you need to save the folders you’ve just placed on your desktop.

Unless you have UAC settings disabled the folder location will be C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\[32 character long MT4 ID]\MQL4

2. Copy your saved folders to this location.

For example, the EA folder on your desktop will now have the following file directory: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\[32character long MT4 ID]\MQL4\Experts

Your Expert Advisors, indicators, libraries, profiles and template should now be available in your updated build.
