Using the MT5 on a 4K monitor - page 3

yes, yes, yes! that's the best ))))

 
Quick has been able to fully customise fonts since the time of King Gorokh. It's unclear why it can't be introduced in MT.

it might be worth buying an 8K panel...

The 8K panel needs to be at least 86"-110" to work properly and that doesn't solve the discussed problem of smallfont size inMT5. I don't know yet why I need 8K resolution in trading (see two days at a time on minutes? Why?), but I will probably find out with time. 8K probably won't go to the masses. It's like with audio coding: there isSACD and DVD-Audio, but nobody even listens toCD-A , only the flawed mp3.

You're so all about the factory (triple yes) as if it's your vocation. Perhaps it's reasonable to follow your heart's call - efficiency is high when you do what you like. As I understand it, it is correct to contrast plant with trading (notMT5). Of the two of course trading. Is it possible to do trading and "...forget/forget about MT"? I think that's what foreign traders do - the big American futures brokers have several dozen terminals to choose from, both paid and free. I think those traders who use 4K monitors tryMT5, see that the text cannot be read and there is no font enlargement setting and close it for good - there is a huge choice of alternatives. Metaquotes doesn't know about it ("survivor's error" - no information from those who didn't survive) and thinks that there is no problem. All Russians in the futures began on the FORTS because of the reduced (cheaper), compared withCME contracts (of course, the situation has changed with the introduction of micro-contracts for indices on the CME, if only micro-liquid was introduced and then all on futures will start immediately with CME). But in current realities withMT5 legacy from Mosbirch it is logical for Russians to continue using MT5 also on CME - because adapting all automation is very simple (order type by GTC time of action instead of SPECIFIED_TIME, and that is basically all) and you can maintain one code for both exchanges, which is extremely convenient. So it's much harder for me with legacy (unlike my foreign counterparts) to "...forget/get MT".

Of course, there are a lot of defects in Quicksilver when enlarging fonts (in many places fields remain the same size and enlarged font does not fit completely), but all worksheets and glass are enlarged there well. As for the flaws, you can doklevat the developer to fix it - the option is - should work correctly. But I don't use Quick anymore.

That was a joke of humour using the hyperbole technique.


bigluck:

there's SACD and DVD-Audio, but nobody even listens to CD-A , only the flawed mp3.

I wonder why an mp3 is flawed?

You're so pro-plant (triple yes) as if it's your vocation.

It was a joke of humour using the lithotex technique.

But in the current realities with the MT5 legacy from mosbirch for Russians it is logical to continue using MT5 also on CME - because adapting all automation is very simple ( order type by time of action GTC, instead of SPECIFIED_TIME, that's pretty much it) and one code can be maintained for both exchanges, which is extremely convenient. So it's much harder for me with legacy (unlike foreign colleagues) to "...forget/get MT".

As far as I understand, there's a lot more to do there...

This just confirms the original thesis - all is not great with scaling in windows applications... For example if I want to zoom in 125% (from 96 to 120 dpi) then some icons and sometimes fonts get blurry and zooming in 2 times is too much... For 4K by idea a 2 times increase would be just right, after all probably 4K and was conceived originally as a way to improve clarity, above all ...

To make the whole day fit into the review you could also suggest buying a second 4K monitor and putting it next to each other, stretching the desktop across 2 monitors... truly I can generate an endless amount of valuable advice

In mp3 you listen to the algorithm, not the original data. If that's fine with you, that's fine.

As far as I'm concerned, there's a lot more to do...

Based on what do you understand? Speculation? I use the same automation in MT5 for both exchanges every day. Nothing else needs to be adapted.

For 4K by idea a 2 times increase would be just right, after all probably 4K was originally conceived as a way to improve clarity, first and foremost...

it is, without blurring, only integer scales in steps of 100%: 200% (...each dot in the application is rendered by 4 (2x2) identical adjacent dots on the monitor, so one dot converts to 4 identical dots), 300% (...9 (3x3)...one dot converts to 9 identical dots), 400% (...16 (4x4)... one dot converts to 16 identical dots)... At intermediate Windows scales, the conversion is not to an exact square group of dots, so it's always blurred (unsuitable for the eye). For clarity (without blurring) the monitor only needs to be in native resolution. You only need to increase the fonts in Metatrader 5 to be able to use it without a magnifying glass.

8K is four 4K monitors. I had eight 2K monitors. Too much information worsens the trade. You need one big monitor. You can also have a couple with vertical orientation on the sides to monitor positions when the main monitor is busy with the internet or youtube (that takes up most of the trading time). That's all.

 
bigluck:

In mp3 you are listening to an algorithm, not the original data. If that suits you, then fine.

As if you can tell the difference between an mp3 high bitrate and a CD by ear? maybe also switch to vinyl?

Based on what do you understand? Speculation? I use the same automation in MT5 for both exchanges every day. I don't need anything else.

Based on what is being written here on the forum...

It is, without blurring, only integer scales in steps of 100%: 200% (...each dot in the application is represented by 4 (2x2) identical adjacent dots on the monitor, i.e. conversion one dot into 4 identical dots), 300% (...9 (3x3)...conversion one dot into 9 identical dots), 400% (...16 (4x4)...conversion one dot into 16 identical dots),... At intermediate Windows scales, the conversion is not to an exact square group of dots, so it's always blurred (unsuitable for the eye). For clarity (without blurring) the monitor only needs to be in native resolution. You only need to increase the fonts in Metatrader 5 to be able to use it without a magnifier.

So what do you intend to do about it?

8K is four 4K monitors. I had eight 2K monitors. Too much information makes trading worse. You need one big monitor. You may also need a couple with vertical orientation on the sides to monitor positions when the main monitor is busy with the Internet or youtube (that takes most of the trading time). That's all.

In fact, for trading, any screen is fine, even 13 inches or even a smartphone.

 
bigluck:

Zooming in Windows is contraindicated because it does this by reducing the resolution for display - less candles become visible in the window at all the same settings (and buying 4K is the whole point - to see the whole day in minutes at a time without scrolling left and right along the timeline).

Another option is to scale fonts and elements, and draw candlesticks of any width:


Then with a changed scale, 1440 pixels wide would be enough to display the day on M1.


By the way: why M1? Why not 5 seconds or ticks? Why not 3 pips high?

You can tell the difference, you have to study the question first.

Example watching video - 720p and 4K, if you watch 4K video on a screen with 720p resolution there is really no difference, but if you use screen with 4K resolution the difference is noticeable.

But why most of those who compare mp3 and audio with high resolution use devices that do not support this range of playback, and even if you connect such a device to your computer, do not check that the winder by default turns on the worst range of playback - 16 bit, 44100 Hz.

Also, there are now dol****s who put out converted mp3 to flac, even though the content is still mp3.
