There was a command to calculate the commission:

double commission = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_COMMISSION);

Now it is listed as obsolete. Are commissions not displayed in MT5 terminal?
Is it possible to get data about the commission, which is withdrawn by the broker?

just delete it, in MT5 it is calculated by closing, i.e. from history.

editor also gave a warning about it, search showed that it has not worked for 8 years already.

Dumb question.
In the new version of the editor from 1 June, the toolbar is on the left.
Can it somehow be moved upwards, as in the old versions. And more familiar and convenient. I just couldn't find how to do it....

I have the navigator in the terminal itself, the market overview is displayed on the right side and I can't fix the windows on the left side as it was before.

In my terminal navigator, the market overview is displayed on the right side and there is no way to fix the windows on the left side as it was before.

If the terminal - there are two ways -

I had a similar problem, solved it as follows:

1. Terminal is running.
2. Menu File->Open data folder
3. Double click "Config" to open the folder.
4. Close the MT5 terminal.
5. Delete Terminal.ini file
6. Restart the terminal, the problem should be fixed (you may have to adjust the toolbars/windows to your liking the first time).

2. The second way is the easier way -

Yes, now I understand - you need to drag the navigator (or market overview) to one of the arrows, and a darkened field will be shown - where it will be inserted if you press the mouse -

With MetaEditor - about the same thing.
I just didn't understand it at once.

Alas, this is not it.
I have a mode of closing profitable positions with swap and commission taken into account. And history is not interesting, I need data on active positions.

But I forgot about the commission. No, so no.

You don't understand. A position is opened by a trade, which immediately becomes history. If you take commission for entry, then you can find out the commission from the history of the deal that opened the position.

If the commission is taken for exit, then there is only one option, and that is only if you know in advance what commission you have. Simply subtract it from the profit of the open position.

Good day to all

Question from an absolute dummy

Some time ago I downloaded MT5, connected to the broker, started to try on a demo account.

It happened that I didn't connect for a week.

Three days ago I started to connect, restored my password and MT5 started to demand payment for services. (How can I add a screenshot here?).

I started to figure it out. It turned out that on the service/settings/community tab all the ticks (calendar, market, signals, articles, library, VPS, Pyton integration) were set to active by default. Apparently, some (which ones?) of them were paid, which I did not know.

The attempt to pay (it is not clear for what) did not lead to anything, as the platform platform does not accept MIR cards (in any case, I did not succeed).

The question is actually classical: What to do? I don't want to start a Webmani wallet for the sake of one payment. Paid services were imposed.

What do you advise?

First understand the question. Why and for what payments are made and only then, having understood why you need to pay for any services, begin to study the question of how payments are made).
