Good afternoon. Just started to learn mt5. I have no market tab in the terminal. Could you please advise how to fix it?

Are you looking in the Tools window (Ctrl+T)?

Well, it's not in that window. The entry is registered and there is no tab. There are signals and then CodeBase

Maybe you are using Wine or old Internet Explorer? You can not see the market tab in this case.

The compiler complains if I use an explicit type conversion function entry:

double d=1.55;
switch(long(d))
  {
   case 1: Print("case 1");
  }

It outputs: ' (' - name expected''. Which name is expected?

IE 6. Just can't figure out how MT5 is connected to IE

The compiler seems to be screwing around. Print (long(d)) compiles fine, but switch(long(d)) gives an error.

OK, if there are no other versions, I'll throw it in the CD.

[Olegs Kucerenko]

That's the way it should be.

double d=1.55;
switch((long)d)
  {
   case 1: Print("case 1");
  }

Numeric type casting

In MQL5 expressions you can use both explicit and implicit type conversions. An explicit type conversion is written as follows:

var_1 = (type)var_2;

As a variable var_2 can be an expression or a function result. A functional notation of explicit type conversion is also acceptable:

var_1 = type(var_2);
