MT5 ARM64 build

New comment
 

Hi,

I want to run MT5 on Windows 11 for ARM machine. Windows has build in emulator for doing so(ie convert x64 to arm64 instruction set). Hower I would like to run an MT5 version natively build for ARM cpu for better performance. Please let me know if it's available?

Regards,

Anu

There is currently no native ARM version of MetaTrader desktop terminal.
 

Do you plan to release such build considering the fact that ARM cpus are coming into the desktop market and are going to govern it given their enery efficiency.

It's just a matter of cross compiling the source for ARM platform.

I don't plan anything! This is a user forum and even us moderators are normal users. You will have to ask the Service Desk.

Personally however, I don't believe there are any plans for such.

High time that you guys provide a native arm64 build of MT5 to the customer to not having any performance degradation due to x64 emulation. Windows on Arm 11 laptops having snapdragon x processor are gaining momentum in the market and will dominate soon. With Intel being thrown out of competition you guy's shouldn't just stick to x64. Providing an arm64 build is just a compilation away.

Probably I don't get you right, but if you mean that MT5 does not run on ARM64 natively, then how is this possible?

Performance Issues with MT5 on New Surface Laptop 7 (ARM) vs. Surface Laptop 4 (x64)

Here are the specifications of my two laptops:

  1. The new Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 (Copilot + PC):

    • Processor: Snapdragon® X 12-core X1E80100 @ 3.40 GHz 4.01 GHz
    • Installed RAM: 32.0 GB (31.6 GB usable)
    • System Type: 64-bit operating system, ARM-based processor
    • Edition: Windows 11 Home
    • Version: 24H2
    • OS Build: 26100.1742
    • Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.18.0

  2. My old laptop, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 4:

    • Processor: 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz
    • Installed RAM: 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable)
    • System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
    • Edition: Windows 11 Home
    • Version: 23H2
    • OS Build: 22631.4169
    • Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1034.0


In the Strategy Tester, I observe the following:

Image 1: The following image shows my new Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 (Copilot + PC) with the new Snapdragon X 12 processor and 32GB of RAM.

Image 2: The following image shows my old Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 with Intel Core i7 architecture and 16GB of RAM.



It is well known that in a normal MT5 backtest, only one core is used. I am reluctant to set up a local farm with multiple agents due to the effort involved and because my laptops do not run continuously.

Another option would be to use the MQL5 Cloud, but that is subject to fees. Apart from that, I was satisfied with the speed of my old Surface Laptop 4, but the fact that the new one is now significantly slower is annoying and unfortunate.

Any ideas? Thanks a lot for your effort!


 
This is running due to windows on arm emulating the x64 version of MT5 and you know how emulation works it's just an overhead(a wrapper) which degrades the performance compared to a native ARM64 build.
