disconnections or failed orders.
In addition, the app can be configured to take screenshots of its chart when an event is detected,
allowing later diagnosis of problems, inspection of trade set-ups etc. For example, you can use it to
take a screenshot of an indicator's chart whenever that indicator writes a particular entry to the logs.

"Pip" size on gold and silver - Monday, 9th February 2015
We are changing the definition of the "pip" size which our trade analysis uses on gold and silver, from the current value of 1.00 to 0.10.
This reflects a change in the majority of what FX Blue users want. It means that the cash value of one pip's movement on gold and silver is now
more in line with the cash value of pips on most forex symbols. (There is no "correct" or "official" value for the pip size on non-fx symbols; it is
an arbitrary convention. For example, a poll of users asking what the pip size should be on gold gives substantial numbers of votes for all of 1.00, 0.10, and 0.01)
For more information about pip sizes, please see the FAQ.

New version of the Trading Simulator - Friday, 19th September 2014
There is a new version of the Trading Simulator
with an option to pause the simulation when a t/p or s/l is hit. You can use this facility to go back and

A new version v6.05 of the Personal Trade Copier is available.
The ForexSymbolSuffix parameter can now be set to "none", telling the receiver EA that the broker does not use a suffix
for its symbols. (Leaving the parameter blank causes the EA to auto-detect the suffix, which can be problematic with brokers
offering two versions of each symbol such as EURUSD and EURUSD_Avg.)
Recent additions to the account sync list - Wednesday, 6th August 2014
Several more brokers have been added recently to the list available for use
with account sync.
The additions include Valutrades, FxMars, COFX, and GIO, plus new servers for JFD and Sensus.

This now calculates and publishes margin usage for open positions.
cTrader accounts using account sync will automatically
benefit from this enhancement. You do not need to make any changes. Your results will start showing margin usage with
immediate effect.
(Please note that the cTrader API does not provide an "official" figure for margin usage. Our apps have to calculate
this based on current instrument prices and cTrader's margin rules.)
MT4i has changed its name to FX Blue! - Saturday, 5th July 2014
Internet Trade Mirror free usage increased to 40 subscribers - Saturday, 5th July 2014

raised from 20 subscribers to 40 subscribers with immediate effect.
Version 6.03 of the Personal Trade Copier - Saturday, 5th July 2014
A new version v6.03 of the Personal Trade Copier is available. This is based
on the version previously in beta, which had been re-built for use with v600+ of MT4.
v6.03 adds the ability to do manual partial closes of trades on the receiver without the receiver EA then closing the remainder of the position (because
previously it did recognise the new ticket number following the manual partial close).
Please note that the name of the EA has changed, to match the change in the site's name from MT4i to FX Blue. You can transfer to using the new version
by saving the settings for the existing EAs (using the Save button on the Input's tab of MT4's properties for the EA), and then loading those saved settings
when starting the new version of the EA. We strongly recommend that you test this transition on a demo account before trying it on a live account.
Recent additions to the account sync list - Saturday, 5th July 2014
Several more brokers have been added recently to the list available for use

We will be making the changes to the website on the weekend of 5/6 July.
Version 2 of the Trading Simulator - Saturday, 7th June 2014
Version 2 of the Trading Simulator has completed its beta test and is now
fully released.
V2 includes a number of extra features, such as the ability to edit orders after placement with the same full range of options
which are available when first placing an order - for example, edit the stop-loss on an option position to set it to
a new cash amount such as $50.
Updated beta version of the Personal Trade Copier - Wednesday, 28th May 2014
There is an updated beta version of the Personal Trade Copier, with several small
improvements in areas such as suffix detection and conversion of equity to USD.
The beta version has been created because "old" EAs continue to run on v600+ of MT4, but the backward-compatibility is not perfect. New EAs are more reliable
on v600+ of MT4 than old EAs.
Click here for the beta version of the Personal Trade Copier
Recent additions to the account sync list - Wednesday, 28th May 2014

Please note that this new version of the Simulator requires v600 or later of MetaTrader 4, and will not work with copies of MT4 which are still on v509 (or older).
Version 1.53 of the Personal Trade Copier - Tuesday, 25th March 2014
A new version v1.53 of the Personal Trade Copier is available.
This fixes a problem with reloading the EA (e.g. changing its parameters, or changing the timeframe of its chart) in v600+ of MT4.
Please note that there is also a beta version of the Personal Trade Copier which is compiled specifically for v600+ of MT4.
New beta version of the Personal Trade Copier - Monday, 24th March 2014
There is a new beta version of the Personal Trade Copier, re-compiled specifically
for use with v600+ of MT4. This version will not work with any copies of MT4 which are still on v509 (or older).

on v600+ of MT4 than old EAs.
Click here for the beta version of the Personal Trade Copier
New version of EACopy - Tuesday, 11th March 2014

functions for use with v600+ of MT4 (i.e. Unicode-compatible functions). QuickChannel can now be used on both v500 and v600 of MT4, without needing
complex string manipulations in order to translate between Ansi and Unicode on v600.
Recent additions to the account sync list - Wednesday, 12th February 2014
Several more brokers have been added recently to the list available for use
with account sync.
The additions include new servers for Global Prime, Price Markets, ETX, and Invast.
New version of the MT4 Publisher EA - Wednesday, 5th February 2014
A new version is available of the Publisher EA for MT4.
Old versions of the EA need to be updated for use with v600 of MT4, because v600 is not fully backward-compatible with v509.
(Files created by EAs are no longer put in the experts\files directory of MT4, and the Publisher needs an update in order
to detect the new location of these files.)
New version of the Personal Trade Copier - Wednesday, 5th February 2014
A new version v1.52 of the Personal Trade Copier is available.
This works round a bug in the new v600 of MT4 where an EA's initialisation routine can corrupt its string memory, particularly
if the EA is already attached to a chart when MT4 (re-)starts up. Previous versions of the Copier can report
message-corruption errors on v600. (The error messages are logged by the receiver EA, but the issue is in fact in the sender EA.)
(The bug in MT4 v600 seems to be related to the fact that v600 can call the init() function in an EA multiple times,
particularly when starting up with the EA already attached to a chart. These calls to init() can be concurrent, and
this seems to corrupt the EA's memory, particularly if the EA carries out any string operations in init(). This is clearly
a bug in MT4 v600: init() should only be called once, and problems are arising from the fact that MT4 calls it multiple times.
This is related to, but separate from, similar bugs which were reported to MetaQuotes during beta-testing.)
Experimental: historic floating P/L and equity now available for USD cent accounts - Sunday, 2nd February 2014
Calculations of historic floating P/L and equity are now available for USD cent accounts (currencies USC or USD100).
Please note that the new functionality is experimental, and all such historic calculations
are always an approximation.

of your account status within the publisher app itself, without needing to visit the website.

you can now embed charts, analysis, and statements on your own site using a simple iframe.
Your visitors can view comprehensive information about your trading activity without needing to leave your own site.
The embedded page includes interactive charts, a condensed version of MT4i's analysis, plus sophisticated features such as
filtering and the ability to create bespoke analysis charts.
New version of the Custom Timeframe Generator - Monday, 26th November 2012
We have added further options to the Custom Timeframe Generator.
The tool now has the ability to force simulated ticks on the offline chart which it creates, and to adjust the
time of the bars on the offline chart, e.g. creating an H1 chart which is 5 hours behind broker time.

We have added further symbols to
the trader sentiment, available both on the website and in the downloadable
MT4 indicator: EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, and XAU/USD

Several extra fields have been added to the Javascript API recently: number of winning and losing trades, number of pips banked on winners
and losers, risk/return ratio, initial deposits on the account etc.
Invitation-only competitions - Sunday, 25th November 2012
By popular demand, we have made a change to invitation-only competitions.
You can now continue to send out further invitations after a competition has started, provided that the
"allow late entrants" setting is turned on.
New version of the Personal Trade Copier - Tuesday, 2nd October 2012
A new version of the Personal Trade Copier is available.
The new version has improved auto-detection of the ForexSymbolSuffix parameter, catering for brokers who have two versions of each symbol: an untradeable symbol
such as EURUSD which is only included for internal purposes, and a second symbol such as EURUSD# which is the actual tradeable version. The Trade Copier will now
auto-detect the suffix as #, avoiding the need to set the ForexSymbolSuffix parameter manually.
The Trader Copier also now has MaxSenderLotSize and MinSenderLotSize parameters. These are similar to the existing IgnoreOrdersSmallerThanLots and
IgnoreOrdersLargerThanLots filters, but apply to the original lot size on the sender, not the adjusted size which the receiver is about to trade.
New version of the Internet Trade Mirror - Tuesday, 2nd October 2012
A new version of the Internet Trade Mirror software is available.
This inherits all recent changes to the Personal Trade Copier - for example, the improved auto-detection of the ForexSymbolSuffix parameter, and the
new MaxSenderLotSize and MinSenderLotSize parameters.
Range bars in the Custom Timeframe Generator - Monday, 10th September 2012
By popular demand, we have added the ability to create range bars in the Custom Timeframe Generator.
As well as tick charts and non-standard time periods, the Custom Timeframe Generator can now create charts of range bars. For example, you define a range such as 10 pips,
and the software then creates a chart where each candle has the same range (i.e. 10 pips) and a variable duration in time depending on how long it
takes the market to move the specified distance.
Spread Controller, version 2 - Saturday, 11th August 2012
MT4i is pleased to announce the release of a new version of one its most popular tools: version 2 of the Spread Controller.
The purpose of the Spread Controller remains the same, but the process has become much simpler and quicker. You simply run one script after starting MT4.
After that, you will be prompted at the start of each backtest to change the spread which is about to be used. There is no longer a need to restart
MT4 after each change of spread, or to disconnect MT4 from the broker.
Trading Simulator for MT4 - Wednesday, 1st August 2012
After a "soft launch" in the Apps section of the website, MT4i is pleased to announce the official launch of our
trading simulator for MT4.
The MT4i Trading Simulator converts the MetaTrader 4 strategy tester into a tool for practising manual trading using historic data. You can use the Simulator to test how well you would have fared under particular historic market conditions - and/or to check how well your favourite indicators would have guided you in the past.
The Simulator lets you place market and pending orders, set trailing stops, alter the s/l and t/p on orders by clicking on the chart, save complex order definitions as templates, quickly close all open orders, plus many more features which are not available as standard in MetaTrader 4.
Price Action News - Wednesday, 1st August 2012
After a "soft launch" in the Apps section of the website, MT4i is pleased to announce the official launch of our
Price Action News.
The Price Action News indicator displays the feed for a symbol such as EURUSD on a chart in MetaTrader 4. You can set up alerts which notify you whenever a new event occurs, and you can undock the news into a floating window or minimize it so that it takes up the smallest possible amount of chart space.
You can also follow the news on Twitter, at twitter.com/mt4inews
Custom Timeframe Generator for MT4 - Saturday, 5th May 2012
MT4i is pleased to announce the launch of a new free tool for traders: the Custom Timeframe Generator which lets you create charts for timeframes which are not natively supported by MT4.
The software can create both tick charts and time-based charts, for periods such as M3, H2, 10-seconds etc. The software can create historic bars for periods such as M3 from historic M1 data, and can
optionally interpolate missing bars on shorter timeframes (e.g. create empty bars on a 10-second chart if there are no ticks within a 10-second period).
Apps section of the MT4i website - Saturday, 5th May 2012
We have reorganised the "Tools" section of the MT4i website and renamed it as the Apps section.
You should find that the new layout is easier to navigate, and provides a clearer indication of apps which are related to each other. The list continues to be
divided into trader and developer tools, but there is now extra categorisation within the list of trader tools.
New features in MT4i Mobile - Saturday, 5th May 2012
New features have been added to the mobile version of the MT4i website.

A new version of the Personal Trade Copier is available.

Recent additions to the account sync list - Saturday, 5th May 2012
Several more brokers have been added recently to the list available for use

Internet Trade Mirror free usage increased to 20 subscribers - Monday, 13th February 2012
The cap on free usage of the Internet Trade Mirror has been
raised from 5 subscribers to 20 subscribers with immediate effect.
There is also an updated version of the receiver EA also with a new StopTradingAtDrawdownPercent parameter.
This is similar to the existing StopTradingBelowEquity parameter, but stops trading activity when floating P/L exceeds the specified percentage of account balance.
New version of the Personal Trade Copier - Monday, 13th February 2012
A new version of the Personal Trade Copier is available.
A single sender EA can now send trades to multiple receivers. It is no longer necessary to run a separate sender for each receiver.
For example, you can enter "Receiver1,Receiver2" as the Channel parameter for the sender, and that single EA will then broadcast messages
to the receiver EAs with the Channel parameters "Receiver1" and "Receiver2".
The receiver EA also has a new StopTradingAtDrawdownPercent parameter. This is similar to the existing StopTradingBelowEquity parameter, but stops trading activity
when floating P/L exceeds the specified percentage of account balance.

New version of the MT5 publisher EA - Thursday, 8th December 2011

Restricting access to your results - Sunday, 16th October 2011
In addition to setting a PIN on your account, you can also now restrict access to specific
MT4i users. If you turn on this new feature, people can only see your results if they are

To use this new feature, log in to your
account and use the new settings in the "Report PIN and/or access list" section.
Social networking links - Wednesday, 5th October 2011
You can now add social-networking links to your results, helping to publicise your trading activity.

To turn on the links, log in to your
account and use the new setting in the "System description, and publication options" section.
Tabbed statement view - Wednesday, 5th October 2011
You can now choose between the traditional statement view versus a tabbed version
which makes it easier to navigate the order history on large accounts. (The tabbed
version is already in use for portfolios, and is also used automatically on accounts
with more than 10,000 orders in their history).
The tabbed view also provides more flexible sorting of orders, and allows the
order history to be filtered to pick out particular entries.
In addition, you can insert your own web content into the tabbed view. For example,
you can add a tab promoting yourself, your EA, or just containing further information
about the results you are publishing.
To turn on the tabbed view, log in to your
account and use the new settings in the "System description, and publication options" section.
MT4i has moved to a new datacentre - Saturday, 24th September 2011

seamlessly, but please do let us know if you are having any problems
with any aspect of the site.

Several more brokers have been added recently to the list available for use
with account sync.
The additions include Cantor Fitzgerald, Vantage FX, CollectiveFX, ILQ, UWC, Forex4You (EGlobal), and new servers for Pepperstone.
Internet Trade Mirror - free trade copying over the internet - Monday, 12th September 2011
Following the huge popularity of MT4i's Personal Trade Copier,
we have now launched the Internet Trade Mirror:
free trade copying over the internet between different computers running MetaTrader 4.
The Internet Trade Mirror has all the functionality which has attracted thousands of users of the Personal Trade Copier.
Senders can control which trades are broadcast. Receivers can control which trades are copied, and can alter lot sizing and other risk settings,
and can even invert the direction of the sender's trades. The Mirror automatically converts between 2DP/4DP and 3DP/5DP brokers,
and between different broker symbol names such as EURUSD and EURUSDcx. The Mirror supports partial closes, market execution,
and allows the receiver to control slippage or simply place all orders at market.
The Internet Trade Mirror is currently in beta and restricted to 5 subscribers per account.
Please contact us for an increased limit, or for a version of the software which you can run from your own server.
New versions of the Publisher EAs for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 - Monday, 12th September 2011
New versions of the Publisher EAs for MT4 and MT5 are now available.
The new MT4 EA builds its results faster, particularly on accounts with large numbers of trades in
their history, and uses a different publication mechanism with better support
for Linux servers which are running MT4 and other Windows software through an emulator.
The new MT5 EAs (32-bit and 64-bit) also use the new publication mechanism, and
add support for text containing non-ANSI characters (e.g. Cyrillic broker names).
Both EAs continue to allow publication of results as frequently as every minute,
with immediate re-publication following new trading activity.
Try out the
MT4 Publisher EA
or
MT5 Publisher EA
Custom symbol mappings and trade reversal in the Personal Trade Copier - Monday, 29th August 2011
There is an updated version of the Personal Trade Copier which allows
custom symbol mapping between brokers. For example, if the sending broker refers
to spot gold as GOLD, and the receiving broker uses XAUUSD, then you can
now define rules which convert between the different symbol names.
The new version of the Personal Trade Copier also allows trade direction
to be inverted, so that a buy on the sender account becomes a sell on
the receiver account etc.
Strategy tags - Sunday, 28th August 2011
The "EA" tab of the Stats page has become the "Strategy" tab, because of the addition
of a new feature: Strategy Tags.
Strategy Tags let you analyse manual trading, or automated systems which use each order's comment
to distinguish between different strategies. You create tags which match part or all of an order comment,
and the Strategy tab then automatically updates each time your results are published.
You don't need to manually assign tags to each trade after publishing your results. You set up your tags once, and the
system does all the work for you after that, based on the comment you enter when placing each trade.

New site design - Sunday, 31st July 2011
The look of the MT4i site has changed a little over this weekend.
The new design creates a little extra space on screen, and also loads slightly faster
on all desktop browsers.

is a special version of the site for mobile devices.)
Extra filtering on order comments - Wednesday, 13th July 2011
The filtering on order comments has been extended to allow exact matches.
You can now start a match with = to mean "this exact, case-sensitive comment". For example,
=MyEA will only match against the order comment "MyEA", and not against "myea" or "myea v1".
You can combine this with other matches in a comma-separated list. For example, =MyEA,/MyEA2
will match against the order comment "MyEA" or any comments which start with "MyEA2".

Hiding your entire order list - Wednesday, 29th June 2011
You can now choose to hide your entire order list on MT4i, so that visitors can only see statistics, not the
individual orders.
To turn this on, log into your MT4i Live account and turn on the setting "Make your order list private".
You can also change this setting from the account sync page.
If you only want to hide open and/or pending orders, not closed orders, then you can continue to do this using the settings
in our Publisher EA or the account sync settings.
Filtering on order comments - Saturday, 25th June 2011
You can now filter results based on order comments, in addition to the existing options to filter by date, lot size,
symbol, direction etc.
(You need to be publishing your order comments in order to use this facility.
If you are using the MT4/MT5 publisher EAs then you need to turn on the "PublishOrderComments" parameter.
If you are using account sync then the "Publish order comments"
option is turned on by default.)
The text you enter is matched against any part of the order comment. For example, "close" matches against either
of the comments "partial close" or "close by hedge". If you only want to match against the start of the
order comment, then use / at the start of the text, e.g. "/close".
You can also specify different comments, separated by commas. For example, "close,/partial" matches against any
order comments which contain "close", or against any comments which start with "partial". And you can preface the
whole list with ! to mean "all orders except those matching this list of comments".
Competitions system out of beta - Friday, 24th June 2011
MT4i's Competitions system is now
officially out of beta. However, we will be continuing to add further
features to the system over the coming weeks based on the valuable feedback
we have received from users.
Please note that the rules have changed regarding deposits and withdrawals
during a competition. Previously, competitors were disqualified if they made
deposits or withdrawals during a competition, though this was not enforced
during the beta period. The new rule is that deposits and withdrawals are
allowed, but they are treated as though they were made at the start of
the competition. In other words, growth is calculated as: current equity / (starting equity + deposits)
