This is not a simple thing. To display webpage you must have a program to parse it like a web browser.

One way to do this is to write dll library in C++ to embed browser OLE control in chart window. It requires knowledge of C++ and win api programming.

You have already been answered! To display a web page on the chart requires knowledge and coding skills too advanced for you. Your will never be able to do it with your limited experience.

As far as I know, there is no such examples in the CodeBase and even if there was, it would still be too advanced for you to adapt it.

Your only hope is to hire an advanced coder in the Freelance section with experience, skill and knowledge of C++ and WinAPI coding.

If your intention is to then sell it as a product on the MQL5 Market, then it will however not be accepted due to limitations that are imposed.

 
What is the purpose of displaying a webpage in a chart window? If you answer this question, there will possibly be other answers/solutions.
