Here is my screenshot example for GBPUSD every position charges 0.10 at opening 0.05 and after close another 0.05

Why are you showing MOBILE TERMINAL? You need to look in the terminal for the desktop version of Windows!

How to start with MQL5

Show the "trade" tab of your terminal - I'm interested in what you write in the "Commission" column.

my terminal at windows "trade" tab there's no commission column

commission column only appear at "history" tab with total of charges for the order

in this case should i use  trade history instead of open trades ?

I do not have a symbol on which the commission is taken when opening - so I cannot check it. Please check it yourself.

desktop mt5 miss trading tab "commission"?!

Alain Verleyen, 2020.06.04 02:47

That's not a rule. On MT5, the commission can be charged in a lot of different ways.

New MetaTrader 5 platform build 2170: MQL5 scope, global Strategy Tester and built-in Virtual Hosting updates

MetaQuotes, 2019.10.03 15:18

The MetaTrader 5 platform update will be released on Friday, October 4, 2019 The new version features the following changes:

1. Terminal: Completely redesigned built-in Virtual Hosting management options. All information about the rented terminal, as well as environment migration, stop and start functions, are now available in a separate tab of the Toolbox window.
   
   ...
   
2. Terminal: Added ability to quickly switch to deposit/withdrawal operations on the broker website.
   
   ...
   
3. Terminal: New fields in the trading symbol specification:
   
   ...
   
   Commissions
   Information on commissions charged by a broker for the symbol deals. Calculation details are displayed here:
   
   
   • Commission may be single-level and multilevel, i.e. be equal regardless of the deal volume/turnover or can depend on the size. Appropriate data is displayed in the terminal.
   • Commission can be charged immediately upon deal execution or at the end of a trading day/month.
     
   • Commission can be charged depending on deal direction: entry, exit or both operation types.
   • Commission can be charged per lot or deal.
   • Commission can be calculated in money, percentage or points.
   
   For example, the following entry means that a commission is charged immediately upon deal entry and exit. If the deal volume is between 0 to 10 lots, a commission of 1.2 USD is charged per operation. If the deal volume is between 11 to 20 lots, a commission of 1.1 USD is charged per each lot of the deal.
   Commission | Instant, volume, entry/exit deals
   0  - 10  | 1.2 USD per deal
   11 - 20  | 1.1 USD per lot

   
   

   
   

In all cases, it's not available in the Trade Tab.

I do not know ... I think - it depends on the broker.

Im confused as to how i can go about accessing a desired candle on a higher timeframe. For example, an array of candle closes for 1 min candles is close[]

My strategy picked out close[8] which was at 1.69230 how can i find out on which candle in the m5 chart was at 1.69230
