When Mt5 was first released with all the rave about it, I downloaded and installed it. It was like hitting a stone wall, to me at least. The 'super fast' backtesting was not part of the platform and the coding, though it might be more c++ similar

There is a long term debate which has been going on since time began. Newton and Leibniz puzzled over it, as have many before and many more will still do so. The debate is also present in the Forex field. Some Forex traders believe that we as traders

I wrote an EA that makes HUGE profit on back testing, but it only works up to 2008. After that it drops drastically, and if I run it live in the current market, it also loses. So I then wrote a second EA that works after 2008, but it doesn't make

Hi All. phi.nuts, you mentioned in another thread that you have not used Gann Grids. I decided just to show you (and anyone else who wishes to look) a bit about Gann Grids. It is far more than it seems at first, kind of like Alice in Wonderland, the

Greetings all. I am BlueMental, and though I am familiar with mq4, mq5 is very new to me. It has enormous scope and I look forward to learning as I go. As the Subject above states, I would like to make a suggestion to the Metaquotes coders/designers

After the last upddate (a few days ago) my Metatrader 5 software no longer connects. I have 2 demo's installed. One is the one I downloaded from Metaquotes, and after it restarted after the update, the Demo info account is no longer there, and it

It would be nice if the charts had SnapTo Sides. Much easier to set the width neatly that way. Also nice if they were dockable

The Toolbox Colums cant be adjusted to read the text if it is longer than the column width

In the replace option, the buttons do not have underlined letters for keyboard use. Example, I can not press 'R' to replace next. It HAS got them in the find window though. If you select new text while the replace window is already open and press

When you delete an object or edit an object in either of the two lists, after it is complete, the focus goes into limbo, so it means you have to reselect another object or indicator before you can alter it. After edit the edited object should get

When holding the mouse button in crosshair selted mode, it gives data of bars and value difference, and it is left justified. This is good because the data is still visible when on the left edge of the screen. But if one moves to the right edge, it

When creating or altering an object (Trendline or Channel for example), if you move the cursor off the screen it needs you need to release the button on your mouse then reselect the object. Also it is not possible to use the off screen method of

In MT4, if in the Navigator tab, one could quick move to Stochastics by starting to type 'sto...' In MT5, this is not the case, so one has to scroll through the list to get to the indicator required

It would be nice to have a property, both in the chart options and available in code to raise or lower the hieght of each object. So that one indicator, even though created earlier can get raised to the forground. Just like the available setting for

It would be nice to have an option available to work offline, or alternatively to logoff. This alows analysis and coding to be done without having to go set the Disconnect option to mute

In MT4 it was simple. Click the History option in Tools and download your history data. In Mt5 I am stuck with data from 17 November 2009, with no way I can find to get data going further back. It is great that I can now set the bars per chart to

I use a different color scheme than the ones available in the drop down menu (see scheme in pic). I never managed to find where the color scheme templates are in MT4, and I can't find them in MT5 either. Surely a simple solution is to simply set your

Hi. I have data for various pairs, but I can only get as far back as 1999. Can anyone assist in how to get data from 1989, because I need a longer term to better test an EA I am working on. Thank you. Lance
