Default New Mt4stats.com Website Format

I just went to look at one of my statements on mt4stats.com and noticed that they have changed the format. The screen is now tabbed with a statement tab and an analysis tab.

They have introduced a new column into the statement making the statement non-standard for Metatrader (this is important, see below). The column added is 'pips' which is their own pip calculation on each closed trade. The interesting thing is that the pip calculation ignores the fifth decimal if it is present, the last digit is truncated (not rounded).

The analysis tab is kind of interesting with graphs. Their calculations don't seem to be working properly. As an example, they say that my live account earns negative pips while making money

This non-standard format is going to cause a problem for my mt4analysis application. Up until now, my mt4analysis project was able to read the mt4stats.com statement directly and load the trades into a database. This new non-standard format has broken that ability.

I am going to try and program some workarounds for this new format. I will be ignoring the pip calculation since it is wrong in some cases.

Back to the drawing board

I also just noticed that in the new mt4stats.com statement tab, the ticket has been removed

More mt4stats.com problems. I have been clicking on various mt4stats banners today to review the statements and in all cases except one, I am getting a MySQL connect error page.

Nice
