Constant high load on the CPU core.

Low CPU load on my system with the indicator loaded on 4 charts:

I also tried increasing "Number of days to display" from default 35 to 100 on the 4 charts, switching timeframes frequently, yet the CPU load is low.

I also tried resizing the y (price) axis and  zooming in/out to test "CHARTEVENT_CHART_CHANGE" event and yet CPU usage does not exceed 1%.

Edit:

I used the Profiler and compiled the indicator with/without optimizations -> I failed to spot major bottlenecks in the code

fxsaber #:

Incorrectly determined the time offset.

I tried this code.

Result.

I would be grateful if you find a broker with weird configuration of the chart bars thus giving wrong GMT offset.

It is a MT5 issue, just resize the price axis by holding down the left mouse button and drag down.

It's probably better to make a solution that doesn't require these steps.

Try RannForex-Server.

I already tried 6 other servers in addition to RannForex. Low CPU load on all servers.

1. ICMarkets

2. OctaForex

3. AdmiralMarkets

4. Exness

5. XMGlobal

6. RannForex

When I am on my PC, I will re try with your sample code.
