Wow, did you contact support about it? That’s a terrible experience.
I just can’t deal with MT4’s 1980s design.
I use MT4 for manual trading and MT5 for automating positions with Python (programming language). For charting, I use TradingView but I find it overwhelming at times due to the contradictory trading ideas, so I started building my own tools. I developed a Python script to find support and resistance levels numerically and later created a web app called Infotra (Informative Trading) which analyzes candlestick patterns statistically for data-driven trading. Lately, I’ve been exploring quantitative trading. I am trying to make some sense of that world of insanity

Hi @samewise, since the incident can’t be replicate, it will be useless, unless many traders reported the same thing. 
Better to use cTrader or MT5. If i want to be fancy, I can find broker proprietary platform, such as Pepperstone. TV has broken my heart. 
I’ve had some weird issues like that as well, but normally during market news, so the network is getting hammered. I always check my account summary to make sure my exits are recorded, at least if I manually close or if I’m on the app when a order triggers.
Hi @samewise, I agree. My opinion is TV is bad during volatile market. I even have bought TV subscription. I was thought the delay was happened due to free account. But, I doesn’t help neither. So, I wont use TV for trading. It’s enough for market studying only. 
Ah that sucks. I find that as long as I close the mobile app down and open it back up, I can make sure my orders executed. That’s not really great in fast moving markets, but I haven’t had issue with orders not executing.
No problem, it is just a matter of graphics really, there is not much else to it.
To me this sounds like you are making things very complicated for yourself, there is no app or website that can help you a lot in growing as a trader, all you need is experience and a growing sense of the market, do not overthink or overcomplicate things for yourself. I have been checking one type of charting the entire time and my improvement has been because of gaining experience and not finding new applications.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I agree that gaining experience and understanding the market are the most important things for a trader. I’m still learning, so I find that having a tool helps me stay organized. I’ll keep your advice in mind and focus on building my experience too.
I’ve heard good things about Tradezella. I don’t know if I’m at that point yet. Still just using myfxbook, but Tradezeilla is another level.
the best practical thing to do is: open a demo account
I am very glad to hear that, and I wish you a bountiful journey.
