create custom candles and apply indicators in MT5

New comment
 

Hi

i would like to know if it is possible in MT5 to create a custom candle display (with OHLC values but different from the usual display) and apply any indicator to the new display ?

i think MT5 is amazing and i think it could be possible but i need confirmation before starting a long programming task

thanks a lot

but is there a way without offline charts?


thanks

MT5 doesn't have offline charts.

MT5 has custom symbol which allow you to create your own chart. It's similar to MT4 offline charts.

What is "OHLC values but different from the usual display" ?
