Discussion of article "Creating a ticker tape panel: Basic version"
Congratulations Daniel.
Another great article with a professional level of programming.
It will be very well utilised by the MQL5 community.
Congratulations Daniel!!!!! I am learning a lot from all your posts!!!
Just one question... does it work for currency pairs in Forex, if so, how to make it use only specific pairs and or assets and not everything !!!

Yes, it is possible. Although this article was published recently, it's quite old. Since then I've changed the way I write articles and the focus of each one. If you follow along, you'll notice this over time. But let's get to your question:
You may have noticed that the system uses an external file. This was mentioned during the explanation of the article:
Here we will read the file, which contains all the assets to be used in the sign,note that I am not forcing any kind of extension, just a location for the file to be found, this way you will be free to give any name to the file, thus being able to have different files for different things.
You should be careful to point to a file containing correct data, otherwise you may experience some problems, but in the annex where the complete system code will also be, I will place a file to demonstrate a form of internal formatting, in this file you will be able to find all the assets currently present in the Ibovespa Index ( IBOV ), use this file as a basis for creating all the others, because when improvements are implemented in this system, I will use the same formatting as in the file in the annex.
In this file, on each of the lines you put the name of the asset, and the name must be the same as the one you will see in the market observation window. Save the file and the rest is up to Letreiro. You don't need to change anything in the code, absolutely NOTHING. Just edit the file indicated in the article and be happy.
There is one limitation, regardless of what you do: You cannot watch currency pairs and the stock market at the same time in the same MetaTrader 5 execution instance. The reason is that there is a separation between these two types of market. But apart from that, you won't have any problems.😁👍
That is very nice!

New article Creating a ticker tape panel: Basic version has been published:
Here I will show how to create screens with price tickers which are usually used to display quotes on the exchange. I will do it by only using MQL5, without using complex external programming.
In the video below, you can see the system in action with data from the IBOV (Ibovespa Index) assets. This is only a demonstration of how the system works...
