I don't have an HDD (only an SSD). Maybe that's the issue.

That's probably exactly the point.

 
fxsaber:

Show the configuration lines from the Terminal startup log.


I have repeated: I did the settings as in the article:

Testing was conducted on USDJPY,M30 from 2017.02.01 to 2018.01.16 on MetaQuotes-Demo server. After each test (whether it was a change of advisor or change of tick generation mode) the terminal was rebooted. Computer configuration:

Windows 10 (build 16299) x64, IE 11, UAC, Intel Core i3-3120 M  @ 2.50 GHz, Memory: 4217 / 8077 Mb, Disk: 335 / 464 Gb, GMT+2
The only unspecified latency mode: 100 ms.
 
Rashid Umarov:

Here's my computer, no SSD.

Well then, let's ask forum members to show their log of running standard Experts\Examples\MACD\MACD\MACD Sample.ex5 with default settings on real MetaQuotes-Demo EURUSD M1 ticks from 01.09.2017 to 26.01.2018. And report whether SSD or HDD + configuration was used. Everything goes to the point that Cloud Ratings are built incorrectly.

 
Vladimir Karputov:

Why did you mess with people's heads?

 
Комбинатор:

That's probably it.

Sounds like a judgement for MT5. I have a follow-up question for the developers, how does the presence of SSD affect the calculation of Cloud Rating?

 
fxsaber:

Why are you messing with people's heads?


If someone has different default settings and they piously believe that it's the same for everyone - it's not my problem, to put it mildly.

HDD.

You have until the 26th. I made a typo where I put the 25th. I've corrected it now.
