Their poor English skills are only a small part of the problem.
Even replies with 50 typos would make people happy.
They choose to not reply of give strange answers. They get many requests for other timebars so someone emailed them. He posted their answer on the MetaTrader forum. That answer was rude and very stupid from a busness point of view. Something like "we are not going to do it if you don't like it go elsewhere."
I wouldn't call myself an ace programmer but I can spot the diffrence between the programming languages. MQ4 certainly isn't userfriendly.
And it doesn't really look very powerfull either.
Why I'm here I hear you ask... Kinda accidently. I'm a long time stock trader that is widening his horizon. Forex looks easier to trade to me. The problem is that forex isn't widely supported yet. My broker offers 1-2 pip spreads + $2.50 commission. The problem is that the minimum lotsize is 25.
That's way to much for pyramiding and start trading forex.
As I wrote in the other thread the strong point of MT is that it's free. And perhaps more forex orientated than his big brothers.
www.amibroker.com released another broker interface. If they release a MT broker compatible interface I think MT will start to die. AmiBroker is not free but it's very well supported, has a lively community, tons of indicators. It's simply amazing how powerfull such a small program can be.
Changing the code between versions of MT (MQL MQ4) won't make users happy either.
