MT5 chart autorefresh

New comment
 

Hi, I want to convert a chart autorefresh MT4 indicator I've found to MT5.

The indicador uses a postMessages WM_COMMAND,33324 and RegisterWindowMessageW("MetaTrader4_Internal_Message"),2,1 but seems they doesnt work on MT5.

Please, anyone could help me to find the correct messages?

Greetings.

No need to do that.

Use this statement to refresh the current chart :

ChartSetSymbolPeriod(0,NULL,0);

Thank you but it doesn't work as expected. It does refresh the chart but doesn't generate a "virtual tick". I need to refresh my EA based on miliseconds instead of "onTick" . On MT4 it does that with the attached code.

Maybe someone could help further, there are two errors there that are difficult for me to edit.
