2 in between the candle stick and line chart which take the minimum ya maximum speed to run the update ?
3 in the market watch when i will add more than 100 script it will take more speed to update isen't it ya not ?
4 is theire any limit off using maximum chart ? ( when i open the more than 16 chart runtime then my terminal hangup for 1 mintes for that asking ya its my pc problem ?
5 when i place the instant excuation order to excute then it will take some times 2 second and some time 5-10 second why was this problem ?, is this my sercevie provider problem ya market volatility problem ya any other?

11 is theire any delay off data feed from my mt4 services provider ?
- It's not about bandwidth (usually referred to as 'speed'), but about latency. The type of internet connection is only one factor that affects latency.
- They are both updated on each incoming tick... No difference.
- This shouldn't be a problem with most internet connections.
- Depends on system resources (memory...).
- Many factors affect this (including all those u mentioned). I can't say which one is the prominent one in your case...
- Don't understand the question.
- Many...
- Windows, but people have been able to run it on Mac and Linux... Search.
- No... Takes time to download those bars u see on the screen...
- Download/Upload.
- Yes... See latency.

- No. Being a Retail platform, it's designed to be 'slow' - it can handle just about any bandwidth/latency... (although in rare cases u might run into troubles like this -> https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/118546).
- https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/126112.
- https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/126112/page2#324205.
- Latency, Server load (varies at different times of the day, during news, etc.), broker's fill times (this changes between brokers and depends on many factors), etc.
- I'll mention the major ones (as I see it) - Tester does not support multiple-asset or tick data, Terminal only supports single account and single trade context, for certain projects MQL4 is too limited, platform is 'slow' and gives way too much power to the brokers (for better or worse).
- MT4 is extremely light on resources... Unless u r using an antique or have an extremely complex CPU intensive EA, u'll be fine.

thnks for reply mr gordon
ok few more questions
1 as above 6 no. MT4 is extremely light on resources... Unless u r using an antique or have an extremely complex CPU intensive EA, u'll be fine
is that means when we are using indicator and ea it will take more ram speed ( CPU USAGE in % )
2 extremely complex EA measn if ea have large number off data coded it will affect pc while using it simaltences on more chart ?
3 where should i get more infor about publisher menu ? ( mt4 - tools - options- publisher )
4 is theire any software that will copy mt4 live / offline trade and account history into the excel ya any other format ?

- That depends on the specific EA(s), Indicator(s) used... No generalization can be made.
- More code does not necessarily mean the EA would use more resources. Again - this is EA specific.
- Press F1 to open the help file and search for 'publisher'.
- Search for 'DDE' in the forum or in the Help file.
- There are many guides for how to setup MT4 on a VPS that explain this extensively. Google 'mt4 vps guide'. Note that the EA should be designed for this...
