I wonder how MQL5 members feel about the new signal presentation page, which is among us for the last few days. I can say that most changes are for the best, except that web style diagram for signal's main stastistics. I am quite confused looking at it, because I think this style of diagram doesn't...

I found this indicator, I have tested it live and in the strategy tester and it gives good signals, however it gives a delayed signal of two bars, I would like if someone could modify the code to make the signal appear at the close of the bar 0 , and not after 2 bars.

So far as I can tell, MT5 is hard-coded to cache its data in AppData\Roaming in the user's account, which will normally be on the C disk. Unless I'm missing something, there is no way to configure the data path. Like many users, I have a small SSD drive on C to hold my apps, and I store my large...
