Christian:

copy_rates_from does not provide enough data on the M1 timeframe.

Is this the right course of action?

You have a limit on the number of bars in charts, you need to remove this limit in the Terminal (Tools->Options->Max bars in chart).
In future builds of Terminal we will return error (None) when trying such request.

MetaTrader 5 for Python 5.0.33 released:

Awesome! All unit tests passed. pymt5adapter has been upgraded to use MetaTrader 5.0.33.

Both packages can be upgraded with the following command.

pip install -U pymt5adapter

Note: The calendar module has been permanently removed from pymt5adapter

Does not output matplotlib package figure.

Python 5.0.33.

Does not display the matplotlib package figure.
From the console or python IDE, the figure starts.

Try this

pip install -U pymt5adapter pandas mplfinance

code

import mplfinance as mpf
import pandas as pd
import pymt5adapter as mta


def main():
    rates = mta.copy_rates_from_pos("EURUSD", mta.TIMEFRAME.H1, start_pos=0, count=50)
    df = pd.DataFrame(rates).rename(columns={'tick_volume': 'volume'})
    df.columns = (s.title() for s in df.columns)
    df['Time'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Time'], unit='s')
    df = df.set_index('Time')
    print(df)
    mpf.plot(df, type='candle', mav=(7, 15), volume=True)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    with mta.connected():
        main()

Thank you. mplfinance interesting library.
But I need a subplot.

Can this library display such a figure?

I assume this is running the script from under the Terminal? Checked, it works.

1. See what errors are written in the Experts tab (at the bottom of the Toolbox)

2. Check in MetaEditor settings that the correct path to the correct Python with matplotlib is in the settings, after changing the settings in MetaEditor you must restart the terminal, because terminal picks up these settings only at startup.

3. it is better not to specify exact path to terminal in mt5.initialize() if you run python scripts from Terminal itself, they will find correct one by themselves, i.e. the one that started them.

Thanks Diamond.
There are no errors. In the Experts tab it was outputted:

2020.05.28 22:47:51.654 mplib (EURUSD,M5)       Figure(640 x480)

The paths are correct.
Removed the exact path in mt5.initialize(), restarted the terminal and the figure started to be output.
