The article presents two systematic pitfalls in MQL5 multi‑timeframe work: indicator handle leaks that exhausted resources and repainting from reading the forming bar (index 0). It introduces MTFEngine.mqh, a unified include that creates and tracks handles in one place and defaults all reads to closed bars (index 1). A D1–H4–H1 example shows how this approach keeps signals technically correct and consistent with charts.
