Using Metatrader 5 offline - page 2

I don't see a problem :

  • I cut my internet connection and close my platform.
  • I start MT5 platform again.
  • I opened a new chart on place an indicator on it, it show correctly.
  • I started Strategy Tester with an indicator, that works correctly.

The only thing to do is to have the needed data downloaded before losing the connection.

I don't know what the difference is between us, but if I started MT5 without internet connection, the MT5 wants me to login to a server though it doesn't see any server because of missing internet. So I can't login. If I cancel the login window, I have an MT5 without any chart but with a bit text in centre of window: Waiting for update. And nothing works. I have the historical data donwloaded back to 2001. This is my problem. And I don't know how to run MT5 without internet using the historical data only.

I hope I can solve this in the future.

I am glad that you have no such a problem. Thank you and bye.

My login and password are registered, so I don't have to provide it each time I start MT5. Of course, when I connect without Internet connection it cannot connect to server, I received following message in journal.

Then as I said, I can open a chart, attach an indicator or run the strategy tester. I don't know where is the difference with you.

Yes, I also don't know. Now I must deal with other things, so I suspend it for some days and will continue later. Thank you.

No on a demo account. There is no tick so nothing happens after the first call to OnCalculated().

I don't see what you can test when you lose connectivity with an indicator. There is simply nothing to test.
I assumed, maybe incorrectly,  that the OP wanted to test his Indicator in the Strategy Tester.  That can be done offline,  can't it ?

From my test yes, but I don't think this is what the OP want to do.

This is my problem. I want to work on a place where there is no internet. And there I could not start because in the centre of Metatrader window there is only a text: Waiting for update. And I can not do anything.

i don't have such problems. once you have connected, created an account, nothing more is mandatory.

just switch to strategy tester, you can test both indicators and EAs but only on data you have downloaded so far.

you can even debug, but you will not receive OnTick() events. OnTick() will be executed once in indicator, in EA it want be called at all.

There is no OnTick() in an indicator

OnTick, OnCalculate, same ... thing.

I could explain it more clearly, but Raptor would delete my comment :)

Not exactly the same, OnTick is obviously called on each tick. OnCalculate also but not only, it is called when you attach an indicator on a chart (or use of iCustom), OnTick is not called when you attach an EA to a chart.

No need . . .   I think we are thinking the same thing . . .
