I was wondering how much of a performance hit there was. I'm assuming there are no issues utilising all cores

I understand that the demo account broker sets the commissions so that when you backtest they are locked in. Is there a way get around this? Are there any brokers that allow you to set zero commission for a backtest? Thanks

Hi, I searched the forum but I couldn't find anything about it. When multiple orders of an MT4 or MT5 EA have the same TP, the ticket numbers overlap making them illegible and therefore useless. I'd like to delete or hide this number or better still customize the text and color as per the attached
