The conventional fixed-interval approach is like trying to measure an athlete's heart rate every 5 minutes, whether they are sprinting or resting. During periods of high activity, critical information is lost within a single bar, while during quiet hours we get dozens of empty bars, creating information noise.
My experience: initialize a single MT5 terminal instance and fetch data via copy_rates_*; multiple terminals can collide at the IPC layer. If you really need multiples, use portable installs and isolate processes—there are known hiccups with MT5’s Python module handling concurrent terminals

The MT5 Python package is solid, but it is picky about terminal path and matching 64-bit versions. I usually check initialize, then last_error right away, and keep one HFM terminal per script to avoid IPC issues.
