  1. Why did you post your MT5 question in the href="//www.mql5.com/en/forum/MQL4">MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page?)

    Next time post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon.

    1. EAs : Don't do per tick that you can do per bar, or on open.
      If you are waiting for a level, don't reevaluate, wait until price reaches it (or a new bar starts and you recalculate.)
      If you are waiting for an order to open or close, only look when OrdersTotal (or MT5 equivalent) has changed.

    2. Indicators: Code it properly so it only recomputes bar zero (after the initial run.)

      Or, reduce Tools → Options (control+O) → Charts → Max bars in chart to something reasonable (like 1K.)
