MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal Build 1295

[Enivid]

On April 1, has released a stable beta of MT5 with hedging capability - Build 1295. The first release of MetaTrader 5 with hedged positions was on March 18, but MetaQuotes did not make any official announcement about it and the release lacked some important fixes and features. The latest build is full of good things for traders and developers alike:

• Fixed a bug with SendFTP() that would result in false return value instead of true on successful sending.
