Please sure that you only use this version if there is a particular issue that it will address for you. Otherwise, it is recommended you wait for the official release.
For those who are installing this RC, please post any bugs or issues you are having to the forum.

Thanks.

A new minor, but important suggestion: the generated FXT files should be write-protected. My MT4 vanished my nicely generated FXT files numeruous times

So please, set the attribute of the FXT files to write-protected!

Thanks.

Hi Radu,

Thanks for your suggestion. Will try to get this in for the official v0.8 release.

Kind regards.
