New Products Released for MT5
At long last - after what seems like an eternity! We've released two new pivot indicators for MT5. They are Daily Pivots V2 and the Daily Pivots Pro packages.
We're interested to see what the uptake of MT5 is in the market place. A lot of existing MT4 users are understandably reluctant to change to MT5 due to the lack of compatability between MT4 and MT5.
Certainly from our perspective the fact MT5 when run on a 64 bit machine will not support 32 Bit DLLs is a major headache for all developers as to properly support the MT5 platform all developers will have to create two ported versions - one for 32 bit targets and another for 64 bit targets.
Another area where we found issues was within the SQL C++ connectors. The combination of the Boost libraries and the 64 bit binaries created too many variables into the build and we never managed to create a robust 64 bit port of the original C++ DLLs which we used extensively in MT4.
So we had to re-design the license management system from the ground up using a java platform independent thick jar file and the JDBC drivers.
The new MT5 versions of the software use a combination of Java, C++, MQL5. A headache in other words!
If MT5 were completely backwards compatible with MT4 life would of been much easier!
