What do you mean by "mq4 is manipulated by brokers"??? How can they manipulate binary code that is compiled and running???

That makes me worried!! Please elaborate...

Yet, to do so would require one of two things:

1. intervening in a just in time compilation process and changing the code - MT4 does not use JIT Compilation as MS Visual Studio unmanaged C++ doesn't do it...

2. manipulation of running binary code. That would require either an extremely sophisticated assembly level programatic manipulation tool that can do its dirty work in milliseconds (to provide such quick order fills, etc.) or on the fly decompilation with programmatic source code pattern recognition. Both of these technologies are in their extreme infancy and it is HIGHLY unlikely that they are being used.

How would a broker benefit from manipulating your MQ4? Why would they want to? I would think that there are enough bad traders out there so that they can profit without this level of meddling.

Now, running stops is a different matter altogether, but no programming language will help us with that!

Can you elaborate on your comment?

Best regards,
