Additionally:
Preserving custom data: If you are using custom indicators or chart profiles, safeguard your settings. To do this, copy your profiles from the data folder (File -> Open Data folder) to your PC’s hard drive. After installing the 64-bit version, paste the profiles back into the data folder and relaunch the platform.
Installer changes: All MT4 and MT5 installers are now 64-bit only. The release of 32-bit installers has been discontinued,
Transition period for 32-bit: If you installed using the old 32-bit installer, it will work until January 1, 2024. Ensure a smooth transition by reinstalling with the new 64-bit installer.
We appreciate your attention to these updates, as they are essential to maintaining the operation of your trading accounts.
