There is, I am not afraid of this word, an urgent need to connect your history to analyse by calendar days.

By tick history. Write down my vote - FOR :)

... CustomChart is a crutch....

Then any indicator or Expert Advisor can be considered a crutch.

A crutch is usually a workaround or elimination of a bug. Adding or changing functionality by means other than standard means (for example, by means of DLL) can also be considered a crutch.

CustomChart does not bypass or eliminate any bugs. CustomChart is an ordinary indicator. Its code is as clean and transparent as the MA code. The fact that this indicator has some additional properties is the praise of MQL5.

Did you miss the word "respect" in my statement about CustomChart? Do you even realise the disparity between CustomChart and custom story comparisons and therefore the context where the word "crutch" was applied?

I didn't miss a thing. I understand very well the capabilities of CustomChart and the need for custom history.

Renat:

A lot of time has been spent on MetaTrader 4, including its mobile versions.

Our plan is to release MT5 builds once a month, so as not to make clients nervous.

Once a fortnight is quite normal, especially before the championship. After that you can release MT5 builds once a month, or even once a quarter... as you plan.

[Igor Makanu]

why not make a beta version for those who want to update the terminal frequently and a regular version of the terminal with updates, for example, once every month or two?

[Renat Fatkhullin]

There will be no custom history.

We will not destroy the back-end infrastructure.

To understand the implications, consider the amount of in-market information, full integration of all access functions, paging, synchronisation/correctness checks, transparent work in cludes and remote agents, multicurrency and the ability to count everything transparently.

We will not return to the world of crutches. Our goal is ease, automatism and transparency of all operations.

Renat:

And your sponsor of the championship, which gives calendar history in MT4, is planning to launch at least MT5 demo this year?

[Vladimir Gomonov]

Renat:

We will not destroy the internal infrastructure.

It's completely unnecessary. Look for an option that is not destructive for the current implementation. If you set such a goal, there will be an option. You just have to be willing.

To understand the consequences, evaluate the volume of internal market information, full integration of all access functions, paging, synchronisation/correctness checks, transparent work in cludes and remote agents, multicurrency and the ability to count everything transparently.

To further understand the implications, we should consider not only the technical implications (which depend on the implementation of the changes and do not have to be disruptive), but also the market-demographic implications. You are correct in your assessment of the implications of the availability of subscriptions to trading signals in terminals, but you seem to have no idea of the desirability for users to be able to work with arbitrary historical data. This is not for cheating, nor for self-deception. It is for research and development of new strategies (includingwork on the use of the "trading signals" feature), but it is also for the development of new strategies.

Demagoguery in its purest form. Quite masterly and professional (even envious, I don't always manage to wrap it up like that...) I speak quite good-naturedly. The term "demagogy" was used not to insult, but purely in a technical sense.

Демагогия (др.-греч. δημαγωγία «руководство народом; заискивание у народа») — набор ораторских и полемических приёмов и средств, позволяющих ввести аудиторию
 в заблуждение и склонить её на свою сторону. Чаще всего применяется для достижения политических целей, в рекламе и пропаганде.

There is a good option.

Open (by you) a thread for collecting wishes for the tester. Open it not "formally", to demonstrate democracy and openness policy, but to really study the needs of autotraders. And really study these needs, really.

And we can look positively at the shortcomings ourselves... - even use them sometimes. :-)

MetaDriver:
If you set such a goal, you will find an option, if you are willing.

Taking into account the experience in 5 platforms, I can make conclusions quite accurately and confirmed.

Demagoguery is when a person without practical experience speaks for the sake of "world peace" and similar platitudes. Desires have little to do with actual technical capabilities. Those who do not realise this, fail projects, bringing them to monstrosity directly "at the request of the public".
