micro time frame

New comment
 
any one know how to plug in 5 second chart or time frame in Meta trader?
 
Possible with a custom period converter yet I wasn't able to get a historical data, so live only (MT4)

Hi Alexander Sinitsyn,

can you share the period converter to me?thanks for your help 

 

As far as I know tick history isn't available in MT4, I wrote something for MT5 but it's still let's call it "early stages".

You need to change the timeframe of the base chart a few (dozen) times so it can reinitialize after all the errors and it may or may not work.

It also write too much too often to disk and I don't know how to fix it, any help is appreciated.
