New MetaTrader 5 Build 5572: ONNX and Chart Rendering Improvements - page 5

[frenchdna]

Bit of an update on the EA position sizer thing. I raised an issue on their GitHub where I was told their dev was aware and there was a workaround which turned out to be "change the font". That immediately reminded me of Andriy Moraru's post about which font works and which doesn't.

I can confirm that the EA position sizer 3.13 and MT5 5572 works if the font is changed to one of Andriy's suggestions: Arial, Consolas, Times New Roman are the 3 I tested.

So is it really an EA issue or is it a MT5 issue? Now I lean on MT5 again. 

From their forum:

MT5 Build 5570 that was released yesterday makes ChartTimePriceToXY function very slow. It is extensively used in the Position Sizer's code to draw line labels. If you experience problems with the Position Sizer in new the version of MetaTrader 5, please disable text labels (setting the ShowMainLineLabels input parameter to false) as a temporary measure. I will try to release a hotfix to circumvent this issue as soon as possible.

and

The current best solution to builds 5570/5571 freezing is setting the Labels Font Face parameter to Arial or Tahoma. The performance is issue is happening only with some fonts. Unfortunately, it happens with the default Courier font as well.

So this + the gentleman above with the chinese characters issue with his indicator tells me there is something wrong with MT5's handling of fonts somewhere.

Using this EA is now causing a huge problem for me on MT5 on the latest update which just got pushed.

Going to Config > Risk / Lots > All Symbols & Periods can cause MT5 to stop responding or load extremely slow and not register any clicks. I have never experienced this before.

Using v5.00 build 5572

Thanks. Issue already reported to MQ.

Anyone using the position sizer ea? After the update mt5 crawls or crashes if the ea is on, how to fix this???

Hi Steven,  you can change Label Font Face from Courier to Arial  in properties

I have a serious bug to report. The new Build 5570 does not display the arrows (Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down, Arrow Up, Arrow Down, Stop Sign, Check Sign, Arrow) correctly on the chart. They are printed as a square.

But the worst thing is that the platform slows down extremely while the arrow is on the chart. It loads the CPU at 100% and every action becomes so slow that the platform is practically unusable. If I delete the arrow, everything becomes normal again.

The same happens, of course, when an Expert that uses an arrow is loaded on a chart.

I am running MetaTrader 5 on a Mac through Wine.

Thanks, reported to MetaQuotes attention.

There is another issue with the Ichimoku indicator. If you set the color of e.g.: Kumo to None, then it will be full white instead of invisible. Added a scrrenshot as attachment. It probably happens if you use black background, but still annoying

Build 5570+ runs very slow on my computer. My specs: Intel i5-9500, 16 GB RAM, Windows 11. I've gone back to build 5518, which works perfectly fine.

In general or the compiler? I came here to notify that it seems to me it's taking like 3 times more to compile the exact same EA as before when using version 5430 (using "maximal compilation"). Interestingly, the same clear extra amount of time isn't happening with another EA under the same conditions :T I won't be able to share the code here for others to confirm, but I'm letting the note in case other people may find the same thing happening with them.

Btw: I confirm the other's report that the labels/texts on the chart are showing as what looks like "lower quality rendering".

When I compiled an EA in 5430, the EX5 file was only 1.92MB, but when I compiled it with 5572, the size increased to 2.14MB.
