When I download MT5 from the metatrader website now I get the error message.  The MT5 I used from DarwinxZero is an older version of MT5.  The version I downloaded from the metatrader website is the latest version.  So, I suspect a bug in the latest release.

Alan,

Hi Alan. I suspect you may be right as I was prompted to close mt5 terminal to install the update. It was after that when I received the error message. What would you suggest as a possible solution, or just wait and let the Metaquotes deal with the bug?

Hi Everyone,

The prop firm EA’s I downloaded today are giving an error when I try and compile them. I updated the MT5 terminal this weekend and now I am getting error compiling and loading the EAs. I have tried multiple  EAs and getting the same errors

‘MQL5_TRADE_ALLOWED’ is deprecated, use ‘MQL_TRADE_ALLOWED’

‘lineWidth’ – parameter conversion not allowed

Has anyone else seen this error?

 

Hi Brendan,

You can try to use your MT5 setup file and install another MT5 terminal and see if that works.  However, I don’t know if it will install the previous version or look for the latest version to install.  I suspect it will install the latest version, but give it a try.

Alan,

Hi,

The error is due to recent changes in the MetaTrader API.

Please refresh the app and re-download the robots to resolve the issue if you’re on MT5 (our team is still working on a solution for MT4).

Kind regards,

Marin

Do we have to redownload if we have the Prop EA compile and running on a previous account or just for new downloads. Basically I just want to confirm that we don’t have to reinstall all EAs if we already had it installed?

I can not compile this EA to MT5, it shows that is attached but it is not showing its dashboard on the chart window

Same problem.

Hello,
We sincerely apologize for the delay in responding to your message. Please let us know if your question is still relevant. If it is, kindly provide more details about what you see or encounter when trying to compile the robot, so we can assist you better. Looking forward to your reply.

Hi, additionally for this issue. Are you able to show the error if you try to compile this in metaeditor please. Also showing the outputs on the expert tab would be helpful in resolving this issue too. If you are able to send the expert advisor to the academy email address also then that will help in properly resolving this.

High news filter didn’t close the trade today on Friday 22th on Fed Chair Powell Speaks at 5:00PM GMT+3. The red news folder shows on forexfactory.com and investing.com. I have before and after news set to 6 minutes.

Is the news function capable close off trades before the red news as the setting? (eg 5 or 6 mins before)

Hi, I responded here:

Oh then it renders the news function useless for PropFirms. PropFirms ask to not open and close trades around news mostly +-5 minutes. So the PropFirmApp is mostly useless right now because it doesn’t conform to PropFirm rules.

Hi team,
I can log in to the Prop Firm Robots app without any problem, but I’m unable to access the 21-Day Algo Trading Master Course since it redirects me to Mautic and doesn’t recognize my credentials there.

My main goal right now is to make sure my robots stay consistently profitable across demo and funded accounts. Could someone please guide me on the best setup or weekly routine to keep performance stable — for example, how often to refresh or rotate bots, and what key FXBlue data points to monitor?

Any advanced insights from the team or experienced users would be hugely appreciated.
