  2. Dear Sir goodmoorning.
    Today I started Mt4 platform as you desribed MT4 – PORTABLE instruction. But This is old version error occurs .
    And MT4 live account was not work 1090.

    would you mind to help for 1090 version MT4 . Now MT4 1170 version 4 is valid todays.

    Thank you

    • Hi! Like a piece of cake. I updated the portable set up to 1170 mt4 version. You can download it from this page.
      Good trading, buddy!

  3. Can somebody share a terminal.exe that still works on Windows XP please?

    It must be newer than 4.0.0.1090, but older than 4.0.0.1170. (4.0.0.1170 does give an error on XP “… is not a valid win32 application”.

    Maybe someone can share 4.0.0.1127 terminal.exe ?
    Can you look?

    Thanks

    • Hi. Metaquotes ended up supporting Windows XP/2003/Vista it updates automatically at first launch on OS including Win7 and up to 10. If you want to prevent autoupdate use /skipupdate flag in terminal.exe shortcut.

      Ask your broker about minimal terminal version to connect their servers. Or try it by yourself here the link to 1127 build

  4. Very much appreciate your efforts & will donate, but please do something about all the crazy adds, popups & re-directs etc … Some and trying to trick me into downloading malware, some are even being blocked by my security software. Thank you!!
