it just tells me finally I have the latest version. Anyone know a quick way to roll back? It's been a week now and I need to get my bots back online. I need to turn off Live Update all together. I never want this to happen again.
all brokers i used have same issue from last week. and if you had looked on the front forum page you would see many threads with same slowdown issues which are in process of being repaired.
i see that the broker has 5572. assuming that this is same as 5572 that us endusers had forced/pushed upon us last week, then, you need to contact your broker to get them to update their crap. This version number was a big piece of #@!$^ that had the forum "up in a storm".

Most likely, the chart for that symbol is built based on the Last price, not the Bid price.
Run the attached script to find out. Or, look up the corresponding symbol property in the specification (see the attached <specification.png> for an example).
On the second thought, I think this is wrong and the issue is valid. The Last Price line is outside of the candle, this doesn't make sense. If the last price moves so should the chart, regardless of what it is based of. It is based on Last price, but the Last price also moved outside the candle. It's not the case when spread is high and bid/ask prices move outside.
It should work like a physical graph-drawing instrument, e.g. seismograph or electrocardiograph. It should record the price movement, and when the price is outside the chart it means is not recording.
I believe it is caused by the same lag that plagues the chart since the Blend2D was torn out. It only happens on some instruments, and it doesn't seem to be related to the chart mode. (All my charts are based on last price).
It seems like chart related functions are executed, but nothing happens on the chart for a few seconds.
This isn't complaint, I'm just trying to help.

What build are you using ?
Can you post some screenshots to demonstrate your issue ?

Unfortunatelly it seems random to me.
I currently use 5584, the issues started with 5572 (I think).
The price chart doesn't update with the price line - the candle freezes for couple of seconds, updates, then freezes again, and so on, like a choppy video on a really bad connection. Most of the time there is no issue, but some instruments seem to be more susceptible to the issue than other instruments. It is usually Gold, Silver, E-Mini S&P 500, and WTI, for me. I posted screenshot before. This happens on clean chart with no templates, no indicators.
Other than that. I have some lag issue related to the chart/canvas. I use some indicators that handle fixed scale chart, and display things in a rectangle frames, nothing fancy. These never had any issues, but now occasionally -- just like the first issue -- are lagging, the chart scale only updates after few seconds, normally it is immediate. I don't have source code to give out. I know this isn't much but I hope it helps a little.

Please provide your Journal, so I can check if there is any useful information there.
Seems like chart drawing functions don't execute very well.

So that's a code issue, not an MT5 one.
