_hot_ — .mq4

And the robot wakes up.

MetaTrader 5 uses .mq5 —different syntax, no backward compatibility. Brokers are moving to cTrader, TradeLocker, proprietary web platforms. The golden age of the .mq4 script kiddie is ending. And the robot wakes up

But tonight, somewhere, a programmer just finished debugging a 200-line file. She hits "Compile". No errors. She attaches it to a GBP/JPY chart. She turns off her monitor. And the robot wakes up

And the tragedy? The .mq4 is dying.
