the op has MacOS system.

I saw that he was on a Mac, but I assumed he was on an emulator.  My MT5 terminal also just updated when this happened.  It seemed like a high likelihood that these two things were caused by the same thing, or were related.

sorry, but there is very little support for MacOS. your best is to search this website, however, I am not aware of any recent MacOS threads started in last few days, cept for this one. even the moderators appologise for not being able to help.

All i can suggest is that you close mt5 and delete the config and tester/cache folders, and then restart mt5 and download your tick data from scratch. This is a method i have read in older threads that has worked in MacOS. Good Luck to you. And please -- if you find the solution that worked for you, please update this thread, as other MacOS users will benefit from your experience.

EDIT: i reread your last msg. I remember threads recently that mentioned chart saying "waiting for update". I am sure these threads were regarding windows specificly, however, maybe they found a solution. Try the search page.

Found quick fix. Dock it into main Metatrader window and undock again. Works for me 

Stupid question: How do I dock it?

Tonight while testing some EAs the strategy tester visualizer stopped advancing beyond the first tick. None of the EA's in my library would do any better. Even running OnTick or OnTimer empty would not advance the strategy tester. I'm running on a
