Cool!

For me, the most valuable thing is the 'Tiki' tab:

This is still a beta version.

What we'll do step by step:

  1. Custom symbols
  2. Custom synthetic symbols, recalculated according to predefined formulas (it will be easy to build indexes and composites)
  3. Datafeeds in MQL5, working as services all the time

Custom symbols will be available in the Strategy Tester. Perhaps, we will also allow them in the MQL5 Cloud Network.


After hearing the news about the progress towards extending the data management capabilities, I decided to ask (am I happy about that): Will it be possible to access the data stored on the disk through the Expert Advisor, and not only to the data downloaded to the terminal?

Of course you can. In an extreme case, using a DLL.

Why?

You can still do this by loading data from files yourself.

But you can create custom symbols linked to static files to access this data later via standard functions. If you use datafeeds (programs in MQL5 working as services, which are a new type of robots), you can provide relay updates.

 
Whoa! Let's all go download now!
 
@Renat Fatkhullin

We'll check and fix it on the water.

Renat Fatkhullin:
We decided to open interfaces to write our own datafeeds for MT5.

It will be possible to freely write your own data sources, including reltime data sources. This will allow any kind of data to be plugged in, including detailed history and Level2 tumblers.

By default we will provide a number of in-house datafeeds, including off-line ones. Virtual characters will also be available in the tester.

All of this is free, of course.
