MetaQuotes announced that support for older versions
of MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 will end in December. According to the
company, only specific versions of the popular trading platforms will continue
to be supported from December 1.

The minimum supported version for MetaTrader 4 is build 1420, which was released on May 24, 2024. On the other hand, the supported version for MetaTrader 5 is build 4410, which was released on June 21, 2024.

Enhancing Performance and Security

MetaQuotes warned users that they will face
disconnection from broker servers if they have not updated beyond these
versions. According to the official announcement, the new builds of MetaTrader
enhance performance, security features, and additional tools.

MetaTrader 5 users, in particular, have experienced
various updates over the past six months, with notable improvements aimed at
both the desktop and web versions.

For instance, MetaTrader 5 introduced new visual tools
like crosshair mode and customizable Market Watch in the web version. It also
included improvements in computational power through the OpenBLAS library for
better matrix computations.

Each of these updates reportedly boosts platform
performance and addresses security vulnerabilities. For MetaTrader 4 users,
performance improvements and enhanced security have been the main focus.

Expect ongoing updates as this story evolves.
