Godd idea to have a thread re suggestions btw! 

yes, even if most of those suggestions come from the year 2013 haha

I have a suggestion: In order to make the chat a more useful medium of communication, there should be the possibility to disable article link previews. When you are in the mid of a conversation and somebody shares an article link, it takes up so much space that you have to scroll back. It is inconvenient and destroys communication.

Imo what would be very useful was the choice between large/small/no link preview.

Hello, This is my first post on forum. I have a suggestion: There should be a custom grid option in properties/common/scale fix tab, likewise from this we can draw custom grid with price pips and/or scale fix steps. Imo that would be very useful as we traders have to load it from different custom indicators that consumes time and memory in diffrent profiles, Thanks.

I have two suggestions for MetaQuotes to consider:
1. In MetaEditor, when Git Revert is clicked, a warning dialog box should be displayed and a confirmation prompt should be asked. Sometimes, accidentally clicking the wrong option causes it to execute.
2. In Terminal, when adding an EA, Script, or Service..., in addition to the existing Load/Save function, the Input tab parameters should be automatically saved so that the next EA, Script, or Service can... retrieve the most recently declared parameters. Users can then click Reset to retrieve the default parameters.

#property indicator_type21  DRAW_COLOR_ARROW
#property indicator_width21 1

In the Color column of the Colors tab of the Properties dialog box, Currently only showing a maximum of 8 colors are displayed. We suggest considering allowing more colors to be displayed.

Title: MT5 Object Selection Requires Excessively Precise Clicking Compared to MT4

Hello MetaTrader 5 development team,

I would like to report a usability issue with selecting graphical objects on the MT5 chart.

In MetaTrader 4, graphical objects such as Trendlines, Rectangles, Horizontal Lines, Vertical Lines, and Fibonacci tools can generally be selected even when the mouse cursor is slightly away from the actual object. The selection area seems to have some tolerance around the object, which makes editing and managing objects much easier.

In MetaTrader 5, however, the selection area appears to be extremely narrow. The mouse cursor often needs to be positioned almost exactly on the object itself in order to select it.

This issue affects many different graphical objects, including:

  • Trendlines

  • Rectangles

  • Horizontal Lines

  • Vertical Lines

  • Fibonacci tools

  • Other chart objects

For example, when I want to select a trendline, clicking a few pixels away from the line often does nothing in MT5, while the same type of interaction is much easier in MT4.

Suggested improvement

Please consider increasing the default click/selection tolerance (hitbox) for graphical objects in MT5.

Ideally, the selection area could extend a few pixels around the actual object. An even better solution would be to provide a user-configurable setting such as:

Object Selection Tolerance: 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 pixels

This would make selecting and editing graphical objects significantly easier, especially when working on charts with many objects or when the objects are thin.

I understand that MT5 and MT4 have different implementations, but it would be very useful if MT5 provided a similar or configurable selection tolerance.

Thank you for considering this improvement.

Please modify the appearance of interface elements in split-screen mode to be exactly as they appear normally, because I open this application along with another application and I want to know if these requests are being met?
