Metatrader 5 Overview

**matfx** · 01-17-2021, 01:29 AM

The MetaTrader 5 platform update released on Friday, January the 15th, 2021. The new version features the following changes:

1. Terminal: Revised Popup Prices window which allows viewing financial symbol prices on any screen size.

The window now supports multi-column presentation, enabling the efficient utilization of screen space. To switch the display mode, use the window properties dialog.

Further improvements in this window are as follows:

Added column selection menu. The menu features the same symbol properties which are available in Market Watch.
Optimized operation with a large number of financial instruments. The window performance is now equally high for 10 and for 1000 instruments.
Added display of brief instrument information in a tooltip.
Fixed applying of color settings for displaying rising and falling prices.

2. Terminal: Added display of deals on the tick chart of the synthetic Market Depth.

Synthetic Market Depth is used for the symbols, for which Level 2 prices are not provided. In this case, levels are built automatically, at distances equal to a price change step, starting from the best Bid and Ask prices. Now, if the last deal price
and volume data is provided for a symbol, the relevant data is displayed on the tick chart. The information is displayed as circles:

Red circles show Sell transactions.
Blue circles show Buy transactions.
Green circles appear when the direction of the transaction is undefined.

The larger the circle, the greater the volume of the transaction.

3. Terminal: Fixed calculation of Greeks in the options board. An error could occur if the option's underlying asset had a zero last deal price.
4. Terminal: We continue implementing the new "Subscriptions" service, which enables the provision of additional trading services. Recently, we have fixed the display of dependent subscriptions. Such subscriptions are used for bundled services.
5. Terminal: Improved platform operation under Wine.
6. MQL5: Added generation of ChartEvent events upon the release of the right and middle mouse buttons. This event can be utilized when creating graphical panels. To enable the events, disable the chart context menu via the
CHART_CONTEXT_MENU property.
7. MQL5: Fixed a bug causing a significant error in the Sleep function waiting time.
8. MetaEditor: We have initiated the global update of the debugger. The window of observed expressions has been significantly improved. Now, it allows viewing the contents of arrays and objects as drop-down lists, as well as pointer values.

To view an array or object, double-click on it in the observation window.

9. MetaEditor: Fixed freezing when opening some projects.
10. Documentation has been updated.

The update will be available through the Live Update system.

MetaTrader 5 platform beta build 2920: Positioning of MQL5 Services showcases in the main working area and updated design

MQL5: We continue limiting the circulation of older technologies, including 32-bit components.

32-bit terminals are no longer allowed to load programs from the Market.
32-bit terminals cannot connect to the hosting service.
The 32-bit MetaEditor version does not support additional file protection via MQL5 Cloud Protector.
MQL5 programs compiled under old MetaEditor versions (released 5 years ago or more) cannot run in the new terminal version.

Support for the 32-bit platform version was discontinued a year ago, after the release of build 2361. We strongly recommend upgrading to the 64-bit MetaTrader 5 version in order to access all the platform's features without any limitation.

Furthermore, we recommend all Sellers, who have previously uploaded 32-bit product versions to the Market, to recompile them using the latest 64-bit MetaEditor and to upload the new versions. The ability to run 32-bit MQL5 programs in terminals will be completely disabled soon.
