"Otkritie (RF) and Masterbrok (Kiev) have introduced MT5. I don't know about Otkritie, but Masterbrok makes it impossible to use the platform on a daily chart. There is a separate history for the 6.13 index and a separate history of 60 day bars for the 9.13 index. There are two unrelated parts of chart histories with 60 bars each. There is no possibility to make a general picture of at least 120 daily bars. In the index QUICE, you can see the whole history even in months. How may you correct this situation?
Any advice from someone who is already experienced! How to trade on MT5 on stock and futures markets. The essence of the problem is shown in the video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b916sjQ6_kI&feature=youtu.be I thought I was technically ready for this. It turned out to be the opposite.

I think it's about low liquidity.
The profit on the trade tab is calculated on the price of the last trade.
Clicking the cross, you give an order to exit the market - the terminal looks at the stack (with a wild spread) and sees who is ready to buy at the highest price. This highest price is lower than the price of the last trade at which the profit was calculated - so you get a loss. Watch the market, exit with a pending order - put it in the market and everything will be more predictable. Otherwise - just feed the robots :)

Thanks for the clarification! I understood it later, when I saw that the BID is in the middle of nowhere. Then I have two questions. Why does the terminal does not calculate profit considering the last BID price and number of lots? And second. Why doesn't the terminal show the broker's commission? It is not small... After calculations in the profit (loss) cell show the real result.
Well. All the same, it would be like this: bids may be deleted in a fraction of a second before they are executed and the data will be unreliable.
In my FORTS, broker's commission is determined at the end of the day and deducted the next morning. This is because the commission is calculated depending on the turnover for the day, on the amount of assets at the end of the day... There may be other conditions. I immediately deduct the exchange commission from my trades.
There is another question. Is there a concept of "Portfolio" in MT5? Can it be found somewhere in the terminal?
