Undocked charts don't remember disabling toolbar. When I opened MT5 after noticing there's a new dark mode all my floating charts that had toolbar disabled had the bar re-enabled. I tried making a new chart, undocking it, disabling the toolbar on the chart, docking it, then undocking it again. The toolbar was back. Also if you restart the client with the undocked chart having no toolbar, the toolbar re-appears.
I don't know when this problem first started happening because it's been a while since I've used MT5 but I'm assuming it had something to do with the dark mode rollout. But this happens in both modes.
Good day, did-you find any workaround for this bug? It takes effort to disable toolbar on many windows after each MT5 launch. I agree with you.
So I just checked if the problem was still there with another platform update. It is still there.
I actually thought of an interesting way to work around it which I may attempt to implement in the near future depending on how quickly I get back into MQL5 programming, depending on my health/situation. Lately I've been doing a lot of autohotkey stuff to enhance my gameplay with my favorite computer games, including pixel scanning. I myself have MQL5 layouts with dozens of charts precisely positioned all over the screens, many of which are small squares with just an indicator and some numerical readouts, so these toolbars are EXTREMELY disruptive and I can't just manually toggle them off constantly. There isn't enough time in the day nor do I have the mental bandwidth to keep doing that crap.
What I thought to do is make an autohotkey script that scans for a region that corresponds to the color/height of the toolbar or one of its buttons, and then based on the position it finds that, set the relative pixel coordinates to right click to open the menu and then click on the toolbar toggle in the menu, and simply loop that until no more toolbars are found.
This might be problematic if for some reason I have charts open where I want toolbars, but I could either specifically whitelist certain coordinates/ranges, or only have it process pre-set coordinates/ranges.
To make this easier I'm using a class that makes it easier to scan for stuff that matches or almost matches the content of an image file, for example.

I've already been using it for games, I figure I can use it for this purpose. Perhaps there is a more elegant solution using Windows API to directly manipulate chart windows, but I'm not psychologically ready to learn about general Windows programming and API. That's something I want to learn in the future. I am still very new to programming.
In Strategy Tester, the backtesting stalls when using all market watch symbols - see screenshots below. The Strategy Tester is stuck here for a very long time. It happens with other EAs as well. When running the same backtest multiple times, sometimes it finishes all tests and sometimes it doesn't. I'm using all major and minor forex pairs. MT5 did already download all tick data. A screenshot of the journal/log is also shown below.
I have tried to delete all tick data and also make a clean installation of MetaTrader 5 without any luck.
Where can I download the latest release version (not beta)? And when will this be fixed please??
Kind regards
Serious bug in MT5 build 5147:

Usually the MT5 downloaded from your broker website should be the stable one. Also pay attention to what server you are connecting to, if you connect to MetaQuotes' MT5 servers, your MT5 will update itself to the latest beta, better stay connected to the broker server.

Thanks, I have tried to look for build 5120 which is the latest release version. Unfortunately the brokers I have downloaded MT5 from, they all seem to only offer the beta version (build 5147) which is weird. Now we are all beta testers like with StrategyQuant. Not a good sign and not good enough! :-(

I wish that MetaQuotes would make the latest release version available for download on metatrader5.com. Right now only the beta version is available. That would be a very good idea, especially when the beta version contains serious and feature breaking bugs and errors. Also because bad feature breaking beta versions could happen (again) in the future. Don't you agree MetaQuotes??
On Friday, June 13, 2025, an updated version of the MetaTrader 5 platform will be released. It features a number of platform fixes and improvements
Since the latest update the MT5 Strategy Tester is limiting my optimization to 12 cores only while my processor supports 20 cores and I have been using all for optimizations before. This is really bad. Is there any way this can be fixed either on my end or with a new update?
