I've been away from trading for a long time and was very used to MT4, so a little confused now. All my indicators are for MT4.  Are there still other MT4 charts that are live now that can be used today? Which ones for demo if so?  Or does that mean I am stuck using MT5 now? Thanks!

Hi Anybody have this issue before?

Hi, Just downloaded tick data using MT5 (Ctrl U) on a few pairs. The tick data only contains date, time, bid and ask values. No data for last price and volume. Can someone please enlighten me why last price is not given? Thanks.

I rented 4 signals and 3 of them work fine. One of the signals execute oders (long and short) with a delay of 20 to 30 minutes. But  the orders are closed without a delay. When the signal provider makes a profit I have a loss or a less profit. Why does this happen?

USD - US dollar, EUR - Euro, CHF - Swiss franc, GBP - British Pound, RUB - Russian ruble, CNH - Chinese Yuan, JPY - Japanese Yen, BRL - Brazilian Real, INR - Indian Rupee, NZD - New Zealand Dollar, CAD - Canadian dollar, AUD - Australian dollar, TRY - Turkish Lira, View the result.
