New MetaTrader 5 Platform Version Build 5640: Dark Theme Improvements and Markdown Support in MetaEditor - page 2

 

It's becoming practically unusable, getting worse and worse, all the graphics freeze!

It's always lagging
 
jguellbo #:
Since the new update, my platform is very very slow. I have 5 platforms from different brokers open at the same time and I see how the charts seem to freeze. The trades opened in the toolbox change their value in profit, but the chart does not move. If I want to draw something or adjust any indicator settings, everything is very slow. The update before this comes with problems, now again. What's going on?

The following code:

Thanks. Could you please post the whole Journal log file ?

Maybe also a screenshot to show what you mean exactly by "all the graphics freeze" ?

Do you have EA or custom indicators running on your charts ?

Please also note that MetaQuotes is not a broker, you should connect to a real broker, not to MetaQuotes-Demo.
