We are preparing soon to introduce a new type of software - services:

They will work constantly, regardless of whether there are connections to trade servers or active accounts. In the 1958 build, so far only preparation.

You can code independent programs, data feeds, analyzers, and so on.

Advantages in complete independence from attachment to charts, active accounts.

Metatrader 5 Plugin Application Integration to MT4/5 How to Start with

I found an issue drawing lines before the start time of the first data point on MT5

(this code draws fine on MT4)

{
   //Print("OnInit");
   return INIT_SUCCEEDED;

   //Print("OnDeinit");
   Comment("");

         //Comment("i=", i, " open[i]=", open[i], " close[i]=", close[i]);
         
         DrawLine("TestDrawLine0a", zeroTime,     price1, currBarTime, price1, clrPurple);   // draw from datetime = 0
         DrawLine("TestDrawLine0b", fifthBarTime, price1, currBarTime, price1, clrGreen);    // draw from 5th bar

That's an MT4 bug...

Look more carefully.... it draws the line if you start at time = 0 but does not if time is between 0 and the first real bar

(I can add a workaround to use time 0 but it's not ideal)

I know, why are you expecting to be able to draw from outside the chart ?

Anyway, if you want this to be recognized as a bug, good luck.

Multi Time Frame (MFT) indicators draw lines from D1 or higher timeframes onto M30 or lower charts

The history of M30 and lower timeframes often stops way before the history on higher timeframes.

Therefore this can break lines and rectangles drawn on many MTF indicators.

That's why I think they should take this bug a little more seriously

Hi Aytugan,

after apply last build update 1931 this morning, all my custom EAs stopped to work. It seems that "#Trade/SymbolInfo.mqh" fails, all object methods are returning empty data. Per example, I've build a blank expert to show you the evidences:

Please, how could I revert to a previous working version? Do you have a older build executable available?

Thanks in advance,

LopTrader

You should call mSymbol.Refresh() before you use mSymbol object to retrieve any symbol data. Best way is to call it on the OnTick function than use it to get the most recent symbol data.
