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.

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.

MetaEditor

1. Fixed MetaEditor crash when debugging and profiling looped programs.
2. Added translation of user interface into Greek and Uzbek.

Fixed errors reported in crash logs.

   • The context menu has been removed. Now to find a signal to which you have subscribed, go to any signal. The top panel shows the signal you are subscribed to and a link to it.
   
   A signal view page has been updated. A new option allows to add signals to Favorites. The status of the signal account is displayed when hovering the mouse pointer at "Growth".
   
   Signals statistics have expanded:
   
   
   • The total amount of subscribers' funds.
   • Trading account lifetime since its first trading operation.
   • The average position holding time.

   
   
   

   New tabs:
   
   
   • Risks - information about the best and worst trading operations and series of operations, and information on drawdowns.

1. Revised display of products in MetaTrader AppStore. Applications, magazines and books feature the new design. A new option allows to add products to Favorites. Click the star icon in the product view mode. After that, the product can be easily found in the "Favorites" tab.
   

   
   
   

   
   

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.
   
   Volatility Chart

2. Added display of ping values ​​in the list of access points.
   

   
   
   

   
   
3. The terminal interface has been adapted for high resolution screens - Full HD and higher. Menus, toolbars, window titles and the status bar are now large enough for easy viewing and working on touch screen of Windows-tablets.
   
   
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

1. Fixed freezing of testing agents when working with the MQL5 Cloud Network.
2. Fixed calculation of swaps in points for the minimal volumes of trading positions.

2. Optimized work with a large number of trading symbols (thousands and tens of thousands).
3. Fixed display of alerts on the price chart. The alert's price level was sometimes displayed in the indicator's subwindow.
4. Updated interface translations into Chinese, Turkish and Japanese.
5. Fixed displaying the list of chart templates in the application's main menu.

MetaEditor

1. Fixed text replacement when the list of MetaAssist tips is collapsed.

Fixed errors reported in crash logs.

Updated documentation.

The update is available through the LiveUpdate system.

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.
   
2. Fixed an error that in some cases prevented graphical objects from being drawn on the chart.
3. Fixed errors and terminal crashes when working in Wine (for Linux and Mac OS), including crashes that occurred while opening the user guide.
   
4. Updated translation of the interface into Arabic.

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.

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.

    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:

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

     }

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.

3. Multidimensional arrays of primitive types can now be initialized by a one-dimensional sequence:

4. int a[2][2]={0,1,2,3}; 

   Previously, the following entry has been necessary

   int a[2][2]={{0,1},{2,3}};

5. Fixed an error when the call of Bars() function sometimes did not lead to reconfiguration of the price history caches when it was necessary.

MetaEditor

1. The works on using the single compiler and MQL5 IDE for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 are underway:

   MQL5 on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5

   Instead of working on MQL4 -> MQL5 compatibility, we have decided to go the opposite way. We have transferred the maximum possible amount of MQL5 language functions and features fully preserving MQL4 functionality. In other words, all powerful MQL5 functions, including ООP and the native code compiler, will become available in MQL4. To achieve this, we have developed a unified compiler that automatically supports both MQL4 and MQL5 languages. MetaEditor will also become a unified application both for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms. Thus, it will be possible to compile both MQL4 and MQL5 from any version.

   MQL5 Storage with MetaTrader 4
   It will be easier for developers to manage source code versions, participate in team operations and synchronize files.

   Improving the security of application codes in MetaTrader 4
   New EX4/EX5 files are provided with a serious and completely revised protection, as compared to the old EX4.

   Market of MetaTrader 4 applications
   Transition to the new compiler that supports resources and conventional protection suited for each user's PC will allow users to develop and sell full-fledged applications. There is no need to worry about the protection of EX4/EX5 files sold via the Market - they do not contain bytecode but only a pure native code signed by our private key. This solution puts in order all the diversity of existing programs and protects the sellers.

2. Fixed highlighting MetaAssist entry points.
3. Fixed search without considering letter case in the line consisting of non-Latin characters.
4. Fixed input using the standard on-screen keyboard.
5. Fixed updating the contents of Articles and Codebase tabs.

What is social trading? It is a mutually beneficial cooperation of traders and investors whereby successful traders allow monitoring of their trading and potential investors take the opportunity to monitor their performance and copy trades of those who look more promising.

You monitor real-time trading of a number of traders, connect to the most successful ones and copy their trades in automatic mode - that's what social trading is about. For novice and inexperienced traders who have just turned to financial markets for additional income, it is probably the best opportunity to actually start trading.

You do not need to be a professional trader with a great bundle of knowledge and skills in order to trade professionally. Nor do you need to follow and analyze the news from financial markets, work out and implement trading strategies and be prepared to change the ones that fail to keep monitoring their performance in the new market conditions. Thanks to social trading it all becomes unnecessary since you can simply copy trades of all those who follow the news, analyze markets and create profitable strategies.    

Is it difficult to start mirror trading and how much does it take? While hedge fund investing was not available to many due to high entry threshold (hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars), social trading is a highly affordable system available to absolutely any trader with any income level. It opens up access to a large market with vast opportunities that you, too, can use.

Social trading advantages are obvious:

• Additional income for both traders and investors
  
• Investment diversification
  
• Opportunity to connect to the most successful traders and automatically mirror their trades
• Low entry threshold: you can start with a minimum budget
• Practice opportunities: you can trade on demo accounts in a training mode
• Time saving
• High operability and user-friendly interface

Ready to take the opportunities offered by social trading but don't know where to start? MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 are the most famous and popular platforms for social and mirror trading, with Trading Signals service being a very convenient, advanced social trading feature offered in these platforms. Social trading with the MetaTrader platforms is very straightforward: the user chooses the signal directly in the terminal, subscribes to it and from that moment on all trades are copied in his account.

Social trading with MetaTrader will allow you to monitor trading activity and profitability of successful traders, and most importantly, copy their trades. If you see a positive trend in performance of one of the traders whose signal is available for subscription, go ahead with it and start copying his trades. The trading terminal will automatically mirror all trades of the signals provider in your account, without any manual intervention necessary.

So, after subscribing the trader can earn money using the Signals service, without effort, skills or trading experience.

After all, social trading should be simple and straightforward to be easily understood by traders with any background. We cannot but admit it. In this light, MetaTrader trading signals appear to be perfectly adequate. They are available to any user, regardless of their trading experience. Here, you are not required to sign an agreement with a provider of the selected signal or a broker, nor is there any paperwork or manual control necessary. Everything is done automatically.

All you need is to specify your broker and enter the number of your account on the broker's server. Nothing more than that. Subscription process will take very little time. The description of a step-by-step subscription procedure is available in the article entitled "How to Subscribe to Trading Signals". After reading it, you will subscribe to the signal of your choice quickly and easily. 

Despite being seemingly complicated, choosing a provider of the suitable signal has been made as simple as possible - the Trading Signals section features a regularly updated list of providers. By default, signals on the list are sorted by quality ensuring that top positions are taken by signals with higher credibility and better financial performance. However, for your convenience trading signals can also be sorted by monthly growth, number of subscribers, price and other parameters.

Social trading with the MetaTrader trading platforms is easy, straightforward and available to everyone. Out of thousands of available signals providers, you just need to choose the one that suits you more and measures up to your parameters!

3. SL-TP levels for the order are automatically shifted when moving the order in the Depth of Market using drag'n'drop.

MQL5

1. Fixed making chart screenshots using ChartScreenShot function from custom indicators at OnCalculate entry point.
2. Added ability to present binary data using b prefix:
   
   

   int val=b'101010'; // 42

3. Added the timer event setting function specifying frequency in milliseconds EventSetMillisecondTimer - when using this function, OnTimer entry point can be called at more than once per second.
   

   This feature is designed for the cases when high-resolution timer is required. In other words, timer events should be received more frequently than once per second.

   The minimum interval of 1000 milliseconds is used in the strategy tester. In general, when the timer period is reduced, the testing time is increased, as the handler of timer events is called more often. When working in real-time mode, timer events are generated no more than 1 time in 10-16 milliseconds due to hardware limitations.

4. Standard Library. Updated CPieChart and CChartCanvas classes for creating diagrams.
