The best algorithmic developers aren't just programmers - they're traders who code.

Another must download for serious traders that use EA's. (coming soon)
The Ping-Monitor Utility is designed to detect when a chart freezes or the data feed stalls, even if MT5 still shows that the connection is active. It works by tracking the time of the last incoming tick. Every time the chart receives a new price update, the EA records the timestamp. Then, on a regular interval (every second by default), it checks how much time has passed since the last tick.
If the difference exceeds a set threshold (for example, 5 seconds), the EA assumes the chart is frozen or the data feed has stalled. When this happens, it immediately alerts you with a popup message, a print to the journal, and a sound notification. This allows you to take action — like pausing your trading EA, reconnecting, or switching servers — even when MT5 doesn’t detect a disconnect.
In short, the EA acts as an independent watchdog that monitors the flow of market data so your trading strategies aren’t silently impacted by frozen charts or soft disconnects.
MT5 only plays the disconnect sound when the platform detects a complete connection drop, but chart freezing can occur even when MT5 still thinks the connection is active. In this case, the problem is a data feed stall rather than a true disconnect. Because the TCP connection remains open, MT5 still thinks it is connected, so the charts freeze silently without any alert, sound, or warning.
