Roman:

If it has been entered, then there is a difference.
Reading an initialised variable is always faster than reading a function.

There is no difference. I can't find the link now - but the answer was given a long time ago.

For Juan and the compiler warnings, there is no difference ))

 
Vladimir Karputov:

There is no difference. When compiling, everything comes together in a single call. That's why it's better to do everything through functions.

Let's start a separate thread about it too and argue about it like about pips and points... That'll give people something to do...

You guys love to impose your opinions on everyone...

 

There is an MA with some shift. Let MA_shift = 5;

Why is it possible to get the right value of MA from the zero bar of the chart only if double negative shift is passed to CopyBuffer?
CopyBuffer(hMA, 0, -2*5, rates_total, MA_Buf);

MA_Buf[0] now has the correct value.

Draw a picture first and specify what is "zero bar" for your indicator with the shift parameter.

Not really, I checked which is faster than _Symbol or Symbol()https://www.mql5.com/ru/forum/160683/page933#comment_12780905.

the access time is the same, code optimization in MQL is very cool, so use whatever is convenient.

according to my tests the access time may be different depending on where the variable is described and with what modifiers, but there is a 2-5% speed, which in principle can be written off to the implementation in a particular build, it depends on the build number

 
Can you tell me the easiest and fastest way to get the result of the last transaction for the current symbol? Because from the documentation everything is so complicated. To get the result first you need to find the ticket of the required deal, to find the ticket you need to find the deal in the history by its index, the index should be searched in the history, not to mention that you also need to filter by the symbol.

Could you please advise how to easily and quickly get the result of the last trade with the current symbol? Because the documentation is very complex.

To avoid going to the trading history every time - just catch the deal inOnTradeTransaction with the type

I agree that the optimizer works well, but relying always on the compiler's optimizer is wrong.
You need to think ahead about how the code is executed at the memory, initialization and value return level.
That is, calculate the number of executed actions per operation and if there are fewer actions, the code is faster. And take it as a practice to write an optimal code at once.
In short codes perhaps there is no difference, but when there is a project with hundreds of files, that's when delays will appear,
and there will only be a profiler and rewrite the code. Everyone chooses his own rake )).

Also google for keywords

__inline 
__forceinline
Oddly enough, they are in mql as undocumented.
