What's the difference between MODE_TICKSIZE & MODE_POINT?
Hi I was fascinated by the discussion provoked by phy on "What is a tick?" Basically, if a tick is an event, how can it have a size? What is the difference between MODE_TICKSIZE and MODE_POINT? I use this to calculate postiion/order size
Calling an overridden function from the overriding function?
Hi Is is possible to call a function in an inherited class from the function that overrides it? This is useful to avoid duplicating code when several classes inherit from one base class. A simple example is below. Thanks, Jellybean
Live Update to 251 didn't work
After the live update just released (build 251), running the terminal caused 100% CPU usage and required 'End Process' terminal.exe to recover. Uninstalling MT5, downloading from the web site and re-installing allowed it to run once. After closing, running the terminal again 100% CPU usage. 'End
Maximum number of indicator buffers?

Can trailing stop in the client terminal be set from in an EA?
Hi I'm trying to write a simple EA to manage an entry. When the entry order is placed I would like to add a trailing stop in the same way that you can by right-clicking on the order in the client terminal. (I understand that the Client Terminal handles the trailing stop, not the server.) This way
Avoiding excessive queries to the server?
Hi Does the function MarketInfo ( Symbol(), MODE_SPREAD ) query the server or client terminal? When working with a very volatile spread (e.g. AUDNZD) I find I want to average the spread tick by tick, but does that mean I'm making server requests every tick? I'm happy to pester the client terminal
