You’ll need to contact TradingView and ask them to match MT5 - good luck with that.

Different platforms = different data, different math (smoothing methods, rounding or even data sampling). It’s normal.

Regarding ATR, the ATR built into Metatrader uses a slightly different formula, as far as I remember. You can write a custom ATR in MQL that uses the same formula as the pinescript version. I've done this before, but I don't have that code to hand.

I don't know about ADX, but if the formulas are different, then there are also no problems to make a custom implementation in MQL.

But when you compare indicators you must remember that in order for the indicator values ​​to match 100%, the quotes (bar prices) must also match 100%.

At least, the smoothing is different. In the MT5 version SMA, in the TV version RMA

These are not errors, these are, roughly speaking, different indicators.
 

Here is the source code for ADX default on tradingview. You can hire a freelancer to convert it to MQL5 for you.
