    //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
    //| Expert initialization function                                   |
    //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
    int OnInit()
      {
    //---
       Print(__FILE__," compiled with ",__MQL5BUILD__," build");
    //---
       return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
      }

MetaTrader Trading Signals

  1. Fixed comparison of Forex trading symbols of EURUSD <=> EURUSD.ABC form in case there are several symbols having similar main part (EURUSD), and trading is disabled for one of them.
  2. Fixed signals copying when performing balance and credit operations on the subscriber's account. The total amount of client's funds is changed after a balance/credit operation is performed. If the percentage value of signals copying has decreased by more than 1% afterwards (the volume of copied trades is calculated considering the ratio of the subscriber's and provider's balance), the subscriber's account is forcedly synchronized with the provider's one. This is done to correct the subscriber's current positions according to the new copying percentage value.

    If the subscriber's funds have increased due to the balance or credit operation, no forced synchronization is performed.

  3. Fixed copying positions in case Fill or Kill (FOK) market order execution mode is forbidden.

MetaEditor

  1. Fixed working with the clipboard when inserting non-Unicode text.
  2. Fixed scrolling the navigator tree when moving folders using drag'n'drop
