MT5 chart skipping ticks on Mac (sometimes completely frozen)

[frank900183]

Hi all,

I have a chart with an EA and a few custom indicators that often lags or freezes, even though I can see the price changes in the market watch.

I've tried:

• Optimizing the code based on guidance from these posts:
• https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/345318
• https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/45689
• https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/167304
• Using different brokers
• Closing all other applications on my Mac & checking the activity monitor
• Closing all other charts and removing unused pairs from the market watch
• Checking my internet connection (getting 180 Mbps)
• Looking for errors in the metatrader logs (I don't see any)
• Running MT in a Windows VM on my Mac, instead of using the Mac version of MT

But I'm still having issues. I'm currently running with 8gb of ram/2.3 GHz i5 on macOS Monterey.

Any tips/hints as to what could be causing the charts to lag?
