Yeah ... yeah ... I know I should not spoon-feeding here but was tempted to actually. :D

Why not ? Sometimes it's worth. Thank you.

Thank you too. :D

Actually I found out that by combining mql4 and mql5 into one, for some reason, it makes the coding much faster. Of course, I need to learn how to use mql5 first. No doubt about it. :)

When I need to code something simple, I use mql4. If I need to code something fancy or advanced, I use mql5. Both inside one particular EA. The result? Turns out just nice.

Old mql4 for reference and then update it so that it works side by side with mql5. The EA is still in ex4 though but with the technology from mql5 combined. :D

Build 616 has come to demo.metaquotes.net:443 (also to :444).

Please post the change log.

You're optimistic. There were no changelogs about 413, 414 and 415 and the minor builds on the MQ-demo server. However, if 616 will be an official release, we'll got a forum topic maybe.

MetaQuotes previously announced the changelog of build 604 and 610, which are the bug fix releases.

So, I hope that MetaQuotes will announce the release of buld 616 same as 604 and 610.

I know I'm optimistic, but MetaQuotes should be more user-firendly company :)

616 is not an official release.
