I have the same problem on one of my XP PCs.

 
There are no off-line charts in the MT5. Are they gone for good? If yes, many people will be really unhappy unless there is a new way of making custom charts, like Constant Range Bars or Renko.

i'm on xp too.. do you have any solutions ? worked fine 6 days ago ??

whe i open the program there is nothing happening, and it never open

 

New version has problem with balance.

How is it possible to have negative equity and free margin and balance with zero trades open? I believe this is a bug.


MT5 Problem with balance

 

Objects are drawn on volume bars when Draw object as background property is checked. since charts does not appear is that area, i think that objects should be drawn only as background by default

Problem with Trailing Stop

If I enter a trade, which does not have a stop loss, then right click on the order, select Trailing Stop and then select the amount to trail by, say 100 points, the system does not place a stoploss, or trail, even though the 100 point trailing stop is ticked.

What is the purpose of this is it does not trail?

Additionally, because of the 5 digits being used now, it is useless having options such as 55, 65 or even 100 points - as they are way too close to the price. Surely options such as 250, 500 and 1000 would be more suitable. Therefore can the defaults being offered be changed. Thanks

Hi Sharewiz,

the behaviour of the trailing stop is exactly the same as in MT4. There are basically two types of trailing stop: the first maintains a fixed distance between price and stop from the beginning of the trade. The second, which is used in both versions of MetaTrader, uses the initial stop set with the trade until the trailing stop can adjust to breakeven. This gives the trade a little more room at the beginning of the trade.


I agree with your point about the default stop options being too tight with a 5 digit broker.

 

I am just logging a potential bug with MT5Setup.exe file version 1.0.0.2 (downloaded from Gallant FX)
Running on Win Vista Home Premium SP1. 3Gb Ram, 32bit OS

The Issue: The application would not start up - when clicking on the Desktop Shortcut, the program is not activated. (terminal.exe does not show up in running processes)
Right clicking terminal.exe from the program folder and selecting "Run as Administrator..." has the same effect ... the program does not start.

Other notes: The "metaeditor.exe" program starts without issue.

(but clicking the "Activate Trading Terminal" button makes metaeditor hang and then not respond, no suprise as MT5 wont start any way.)

Solution

Next Step >> I downloaded the MT5Setup.exe posted by Lenar on page 1 of this forum and it has installed without issue.
I am now going to explore the new features of MT5 and will post my feedback and bug reports accordingly,

 

Simple Moving Average 50 is messed up ...
