   • 在32位终端中不能再使用远程代理和MQL5云网络代理了，会显示“只在64位版本中可用”的信息，而不是代理列表。
   • MetaTester 5 代理管理器只能在64位版本中使用，所以，只能在64位系统中安装代理。

   
   

3. 当在终端设置中人工指定了语言列表时，会固定根据语言过滤新闻。
4. 有很多开启的订单时进行了优化。
5. 加速发送交易请求。
6. 界面采用了高分辨率的屏幕 - 全高清乃至更高。

Trading Terminal

1. Implementation of functions for trading options is currently underway. The Option Strategy Builder has been added. It helps users combine different options in one investment portfolio, and to assess the possibilities and potential risks.
   

   
   
   

   The Builder is easy to use: a trader chooses the option based on the expiration date and the underlying asset, and then selects one of the more than 30 available strategies. The Builder displays the appropriate combination of options and calculates evaluation parameters - the so-called Greeks. The profit/loss chart and the Greeks based chart appear at the bottom of the window.
   
   In addition to a large number of built-in strategies, traders can create and save their own strategies for later use.
   
   
2. Added display of the number of newsletters received in the last 24 hours.

6. Fixed minimization of the "Toolbox window".
7. Fixed generation of the account state report published over FTP.
8. Updated translation of user interface into German.
9. Added translation of user interface into Greek and Uzbek.

MQL5 Language

1. New function for working with the tick history CopyTicks. The function is used for receiving an array of ticks accumulated by the terminal for the current session. The depth is limited to the last 2000 ticks.
   
   The new function expands the possibilities for developing scalping trading robots. The OnTick function does not handle every tick, it notifies the Expert Advisor of market changes. It can be a batch of changes: the terminal can simultaneously make a few ticks, but OnTick will be called only once to notify the EA of the latest market state. The CopyTicks function allows you to receive and analyze all the ticks.
   

   int  CopyTicks(
      const string      symbol_name,           // Symbol name
      MqlTick           &ticks_array[],        // the array where ticks will be placed
      uint              flags=COPY_TICKS_ALL,  // the flag that defines the type of received ticks
      ulong             from=0,                // the date starting from which ticks will be received, specified in milliseconds since 01.01.1970
      uint              count=0                // the number of latest ticks that should be received
      );

   Ticks can be requested by the date if the 'from' value is specified, or based on their number using the 'count' value. If none of the parameters are specified, all available ticks are received, but not more than 2000. Ticks can also be requested based on their type using the 'flags' parameter. Available values:
   
   
   • COPY_TICKS_ALL - all ticks.
     
   • COPY_TICKS_INFO - only information ticks (Bid and Ask).
     
   • COPY_TICKS_TRADE - only trade ticks (Last and Volume).
     
   
   
2. Added an option for overloading template functions using array parameters.
3. Added an option for overloading a method based on its constancy.
   
4. Added generation of the CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE event (in the OnChartEvent entry point) at the right mouse button click on the chart.
5. Fixed the functioning of the Switch operator if the case condition contains a negative value.
6. Improved calculation accuracy in functions ObjectGetValueByTime() and ObjectGetTimeByValue(), used for receiving the price value for the specified object time and vice versa - time value for a price.

Strategy Tester

1. MQL5 programs purchased in MetaTrader AppStore can now be tested and optimized on the MQL5 Cloud Network agents and on remote agents.
   
2. Fixed calculation of swaps in points for positions with less than 1 lot.
3. Fixed check and normalization of Stop Loss and Take Profit levels when opening a position for the trading instrument with "Market Execution" type.
4. Fixed behavior of the ObjectGetValueByTime function. In some cases, the behavior of the function in the tester could be different from its behavior in the terminal.

Trading terminal

1. The terminal now features an options board and a volatility chart. Implementation of tools for trading options is currently underway. Tools for analyzing option strategies will be added in the next version.
   

   
   
   

   
   Options Board
   The options board displays a series of options based on the expiration date for an underlying asset (a class of options) selected in the "Underlying" field. The following parameters are displayed for the options:
   
   
   • Bid CALL - the bid price of a call option.
     
   • Ask CALL - the ask price of a call option.
     
   • Theo CALL - the theoretical (fair) price of a call option calculated for the specified strike based on historical data.
     
   • Strike - an option execution price.
     
   • Volatility - an implied volatility. It is specified as a percentage, and characterizes the expectations of market participants about the value of the underlying asset of the option.
     
   • Theo PUT - the theoretical price of a put option calculated for the specified strike based on historical data.
   • Bid PUT - the bid price of a put option.
   • Ask PUT - the ask price of a put option.

4. Added a command for managing trading symbols in the "View" menu and on the toolbar. Accessing symbol settings is now as easy as never before:
   

   
   
   

MQL5 Language

1. Added conversion of a macro parameter to a string and concatenation of the macro parameter. Below is an example, in which the concatenation of macros allows to organize the automatic removal of the class instances.

         AUTODEL(bar);
        }
   //--- No need to delete foo, it will be deleted automatically
     }
   //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
   

2. Added the OBJPROP_ANCHOR property for the "Bitmap" and "Bitmap Label" objects. The property defines the anchor point of the graphical object on the chart: the upper left corner, center left, lower left corner, bottom center, etc.
3. Added reading of the CHART_BRING_TO_TOP chart property (the chart is on top of all the others) in the ChartGetInteger function.
   
4. Fixed the compilation and generation of the ternary operator "?".
5. Fixed passing of a class member static array.
6. Fixed applying of a template to the list of initialization of the template constructor class members.

Trading signals

1. Restrictions on signal subscriptions became milder:
   
   If the trading history of the signal contains symbols that are not available in the subscriber's terminal, the subscription is now allowed (was prohibited in previous versions). The actions with the positions for which the subscriber does not have symbols are ignored. The following log appears in the Journal:
   2014.08.26 16:44:29.036    '2620818': Signal - symbol GBPNZD not found
   
   If the subscriber has positions and/or pending orders, a warning dialog suggesting to close/delete them appears (as before). Now, however, it is not an obligatory condition to continue working with signals.
   

   
   
   

   Synchronization with the signal provider will be performed. Positions and orders that were opened not based on the subscription signal are left unchanged. The user can perform any operations with them.
   
   Users can now perform trade operations manually (or using an Expert Advisor), being signed to a signal. The Signals service will ignore the positions and orders opened by the trader.
   Keep in mind that placing orders manually affects the amount of available margin on the trading account. Opening positions manually increases the overall load on the account as compared with the signal provider's account.
2. Added support for a copied percent for the volumes with a floating point. The minimum percentage of copied volumes for signals has been reduced from 1% to 0.001%.

Strategy tester

Market

1. Another new product category has been added to MetaTrader AppStore following trading and financial magazines - Books. Now, you can purchase the works of well-known traders and analysts along with trading robots and indicators. The range of books is increasing daily.
   

   
   
   

   Just like MetaTrader 5 applications, books can be purchased at MQL5.community Market as well as directly via MetaTrader 5 terminal. All books are accompanied by descriptions and screenshots:
   

   
   
   

   
   Before making a purchase, you can download a preview - the first few pages of a book. The exact number of available pages is defined by a seller.
   
   To buy a book, you should have an MQL5.com account and the necessary amount of funds on it. The account data should be specified at the Community tab of the terminal settings:
   

   
   
   

   Click Buy on the book's page to purchase it. Purchase confirmation dialog appears:
   

   
   
   

   To continue, agree to the rules of using the Market service and enter your MQL5.community password. After that, the specified amount of funds will be withdrawn from your account and the book will be downloaded. Buy button will be replaced by Open one.
   
   Book files are downloaded to My Documents\MQL5 Market\Books\. The download may be performed in two formats:
   
   
   • MQB - this protected format is used for paid books. When purchasing and downloading a book file, it is encoded so that it can be opened only on the PC it has been downloaded to. Generation of an encoded copy is called activation. Each book can be activated at least 5 times on different hardware. Book sellers can increase the number of activations at their sole discretion.
   • PDF - this format is used for free books and previews. After downloading, such file can be moved and viewed on other devices.
   
   The special component called MetaViewer has been added to MetaTrader 5 terminal allowing users to view book files. MetaViewer is a convenient application for viewing books and magazines in MQB and PDF formats. Keyboard arrows are used to turn over the pages: left and right arrows - for page-by-page navigation, while up and down arrows - for scrolling.

   
   

   
   

Trading terminal

1. Fixed display of Fibonacci Fan graphical object's levels when zooming. A layout could be displaced in earlier builds.

Market

1. Revised display of products in MetaTrader AppStore. Applications, magazines and books feature new design:
   

   
   
   

2. Market: Fixed resumed download of large files (primarily, magazines and books) from the Market.

MQL5 Language

1. Changed StringSplit function operation. Previously, ";A;" string was split into NULL and "A" substrings using ';' separator. Now, it is split into "","A" and "" substrings.
2. Fixed checking and tracking parameter and operand constancy.

Trading Signals

1. Added additional checks for the allowed trading modes at a symbol when copying signals. If a signal arrives at a subscriber's account but only closing of positions is allowed at that symbol, this will no longer cause complete termination of signals copying and forced closing of all positions. Now, if a signal for position opening arrives at a subscriber's account, the platform perceives that as the command to synchronize subscriber's and provider's accounts. A signal for position closing is handled as usual.

Strategy Tester

1. Added interface translations into French, Japanese and Arabic. Updated translations into German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish and Chinese.

MetaEditor

1. Fixed highlighting and navigation through a hieroglyphic text.
2. Fixed selecting a default trading symbol during an MQL5 application profiling. The default symbol is specified in Debug tab of MetaEditor options.
   
3. Fixed display of the tab characters in search results. Previously, the tab characters were ignored and string content was displayed with no spaces.

Fixed errors reported in crash logs.

The update will be available through the LiveUpdate system.

Trading terminal

1. Fixed errors and crashes when working in Wine (for Linux, Mac).
2. Fixed display of Gann Grid graphical object's central line when zooming.

MQL5 Language

1. Fixed an occasional error when downloading .ex5 files.
2. Fixed operation of StringToCharArray and StringToTime functions.

1. Market: Added new product category in MetaTrader AppStore — Magazines. Now, users can buy not only trading applications but also trading and financial magazines quickly and easily.

   

   Just like MetaTrader 5 applications, magazines can be purchased at MQL5.community Market as well as directly via MetaTrader 5 terminal. All magazines are accompanied by detailed descriptions and screenshot galleries:

   

   The latest magazine issues are always displayed in the showcase, while the previous ones can be found on the Archive tab.

   To buy a magazine, you should have an MQL5.com account and the necessary amount of funds on it. The account data should be specified at the Community tab of the terminal settings:

   

   Click Buy on the magazine's page to purchase it. Purchase confirmation dialog appears:

   

   To continue, agree to the rules of using the Market service and enter your MQL5.community password. After that, the specified amount of funds will be withdrawn from your account and the magazine will be downloaded. Buy button will be replaced by Open one.

   Magazine files are downloaded to My Documents\MQL5 Market\Magazines\[Magazine name]\[Issue name]. The download may be performed in two formats:

   • MQB - this protected format is used for paid magazines. When purchasing and downloading a magazine file, it is encoded so that it can be opened only on the PC it has been downloaded to. Generation of an encoded copy is called activation. Each magazine can be activated at least 5 times on different hardware. Magazine sellers can increase the number of activations at their sole discretion.

   • PDF - this format is used for free magazines. After downloading, such file can be moved and viewed on other devices.

   The special component called MetaViewer has been added to MetaTrader 5 terminal allowing users to view MQB files. This application is launched when you click Open at the downloaded magazine page. If User Account Control system is enabled on the user's PC, the user will be prompted to allow the terminal to associate MQB files with MetaViewer during the first launch. After the association, MQB files are automatically opened in MetaViewer when launched from Windows file explorer.

   

   If you click ÎÊ, the files are associated and the selected magazine issue is opened in MetaViewer immediately. If you click Cancel, only the magazine issue is opened.

   

   MetaViewer is a convenient application for viewing books and magazines in MQB and PDF formats. Keyboard arrows are used to turn over the pages: left and right arrows - for page-by-page navigation, while up and down arrows - for scrolling. MetaViewer menu and control panel contain additional commands for setting the journal's view and navigation:

   • File - commands for opening the files and exiting the program.
   • View - display settings: interface language, page look, enabling control panel and status bar, as well as page rotation.
   • Navigation - navigation commands: switching between the pages, moving to the first, last or selected page.
   • Zoom - page scale management commands: zooming in and out, fitting height, width and actual page size.
   • Help - information about the program and useful links.

2. Terminal: Added MQL tab to EX5 file properties. The tab contains the program's icon as well as its name and description specified in the application's source code via the appropriate #property parameters.

   

   The tab appears only after MetaViewer is registered in the system. If a current user has sufficient rights and User Account Control system is disabled, MetaViewer is registered automatically during the terminal's first launch after the update. Otherwise, the user will see the dialog window requesting a one-time elevation of rights for MetaViewer during the first attempt to open a magazine.

   

3. Terminal: Added MQL5.community fast registration dialog in case a user has no account. Now, an MQL5.community account can be created without the need to leave the terminal.

   

   Specify login and email address in the registration window. After clicking Register, an email for MQL5.community account activation is sent to the specified address.

   MQL5.community account allows traders to use additional powerful services:

   • MetaTrader 5 AppStore - users can buy MetaTrader 5 apps or download them for free directly from the terminal. MetaTrader 5 AppStore offers hundreds of various applications and their number is constantly increasing.
   • Signals - users can subscribe to trading signals provided by professional traders and make profit. Trading operations are automatically copied from provider's account to subscriber's one. The service also allows selling your own trading signals. A trading account can be connected to the monitoring system in a few clicks.
   • Jobs - a freelance service allowing customers to securely order the development of MetaTrader 4 and 5 applications. The orders are executed by experienced programmers. The service also allows you to make profit by developing programs ordered by customers.

4. Terminal: Added information about margin charging rates for various order types, as well as the list of spreads that may include orders and positions for the symbol, to the trading symbol data dialog.

   

   Margin Rates:

   A multiplier for calculating margin requirements relative to the margin's main amount is specified for each order type. The main amount of margin is calculated depending on the specified calculation method (Forex, Futures, etc.).

   • Long positions rate
   • Short positions rate
   • Limit orders rate
   • Stop orders rate
   • Stop-Limit orders rate

   Calculation of margin requirements is described in details in the client terminal user guide.

   Spreads:

   The margin can be charged on preferential basis in case trading positions are in spread relative to each other. The spread is defined as the presence of the oppositely directed positions at related symbols. Reduced margin requirements provide traders with more trading opportunities.

   The spread has two legs - A and B. The legs are the oppositely directed positions in a spread - buy or sell. The leg type is not connected with some definite position direction (buy or sell). It is important that trader's positions at all leg's symbols are either long or short.

   Several symbols with their own volume rates can be set for each spread leg. These rates are shown in parentheses, for example, LKOH-3.13 (1).

   Take a look at the following example:

   • leg À consists of GAZR-9.12 and GAZR-3.13 symbols having the ratios of 1 and 2 respectively;
   • leg  consists of GAZR-6.13 symbol having the ratio of 1.

   To keep positions in the spread, a trader should open positions of 1 and 2 lots for GAZR-9.12 and GAZR-3.13 respectively in one direction and a position of 1 lot for GAZR-6.13 in another.

   Margin column displays margin charging type at this spread:

   • Specific values mean charging a fixed margin for a spread in a specified volume. The first value specifies the volume of the initial margin, while the second one specifies the volume of the maintenance one.

   • Maximal - initial and maintenance margin values are calculated for each spread leg. The calculation is performed by summing up the margin requirements for all leg symbols. The margin requirements of the leg having a greater value will be used for the spread.

   • CME Inter Spread - the rates (in percentage value) for margin are specified: the first one is for the initial margin, while the second is for the maintenance one. The total margin value will be defined by summing up the margin requirements for all symbols of the spread and multiplying the total value by the specified rate.

   • CME Intra Spread - two values for margin increase are specified: the first value is for the initial margin, while the second is for the maintenance one. During the calculation, the difference between the total margin of A leg symbols and the total margin of B leg symbols is calculated (the difference in absolute magnitude is used, so that it does not matter what leg is a deductible one). According to the type of the calculated margin, the first (for the initial margin) or the second (for the maintenance one) value is added to the obtained difference.

   The specified margin is charged per spread unit - for the specified combination of positions. If any part of the position does not fit the spread, it will be charged by an additional margin according to the symbol settings. If the client's current positions have the volume the specified combination fits in several times, the charged margin is increased appropriately. For example, suppose that A and B symbols with the ratios of 1 and 2 are in spread. If a client has positions for these symbols with the volumes of 3 and 4 respectively, the total margin size is equal to the doubled value from the spread settings (two spreads: 1 lot of A and 2 lots of B, 1 lot of A and 2 lots of B) plus the margin for the single remaining A symbol lot.

   Spreads are described in details in the client terminal user guide.

5. Terminal: Fixed the depth of market freezing when the best bid price is higher than the best ask one.
6. Terminal: Fixed setting the fill policy type for market trade requests depending on the trade symbol's execution type and allowed filling modes.
7. Terminal: Fixed display of incorrect SL and TP values in the position open dialog in case there is a position with placed SL and TP levels and the levels are placed "In Points". Incorrect SL and TP level values in points have previously been inserted to these fields. Beginning with the new build, the values in the above mentioned case are displayed in prices regardless of the level placing mode.
8. Terminal: Fixed occasional incomplete display of the trading history for the current day.
9. Terminal: Reduced memory consumption during MQL5 Code Base and MQL5 Market operation.

11. Market: Added product activation confirmation dialog displaying the number of remaining activations.

    

    Each application purchased in MetaTrader AppStore is additionally protected, so that it can be launched only on the PC it has been downloaded to during the purchase. Generation of an encoded copy is called activation. Each product can be activated at least 5 times on different hardware. Sellers can increase the number of activations at their sole discretion.

    The new dialog protects users from wasting activations by informing that their number is limited.

12. MQL5: Fixed crash when initializing primitive type arrays by a sequence.
13. MQL5: Fixed errors when working with #ifdef/#else/#endif conditional compilation macros.
14. MQL5: MQL5 language compiler moved to MetaEditor. The compiler will be available for download as a separate .exe file.

15. Signals: Added information about a signal, to which an account is subscribed, to the Navigator window:

    

    If the account is subscribed to the signal, the appropriate icon with the signal's name is shown for it. When hovering the mouse cursor over the name, the subscription's expiration date is displayed. The context menu contains commands for viewing the signal and unsubscribing from it. The latter one is displayed only if the appropriate trading account is currently active in the terminal.

    The subscription icon makes working with signals more convenient.

16. Signals: Added legend for equity, growth, balance and distribution graphs. Also, marks displaying funds depositing and withdrawal have been added to the equity graph. When hovering the mouse cursor over the balance operation triangle, a tooltip with the operation sum is displayed:

    

17. MetaEditor: Fixed the loss of focus in the code editing window that occurred after the first compilation.

MQL5

1. Fixed an error in overloading the function templates.

2. Added __MQL4BUILD__ and __MQL5BUILD__ macros - MQL5 compiler versions in MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 client terminals respectively. These macros can be used for displaying information about the compiler version used for compiling EX4\EX5 file in Experts log of the client terminal:

   //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
   //| 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.
