Data usage of charts vs market watch New comment zeTrade 2019.06.29 17:40 Hello! For mt4, when a symbol is in the market watch window, it is updating bid and ask live, therefor, consuming internet bandwidth. While a trade is opened for that symbol, we cannot remove the symbol from the market watch window. So, as long as the trade is opened and mt4 opened and connected to account, bandwidth will be used for the symbol. My question is, does it make a difference in bandwidth if I also keep the symbol's chart opened? Thanks!! [BUG] Everytime I open the MT4 the Currency Pairs I used in My Custom Indicator are showing all in Market Watch Features of the mql5 language, subtleties and tricks Any questions from newcomers on MQL4 and MQL5, help and discussion on algorithms and codes William Roeder 2019.06.30 01:55 #1 I doubt there is any difference. zeTrade 2019.06.30 16:00 #2 Hard to tell huh! I guess I'm gonna have to test with a network monitoring tool... :( Thanks William for taking the time! New comment
