MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal build 722

  1. Terminal: Added "Test" command to the context menu of MQL5 applications - enabling Strategy Tester with an MQL5 application selected for testing.


  2. Terminal: Fixed trailing stop operation for pending orders.
  3. Terminal: Fixed MQL5 Market product list update.
  4. Terminal: Added the percentage value of the last deal's price change relative to its previous value into the trading symbol's price statistics.
  5. Terminal: Fixed navigation through a chart in case of a specified fixation point.
  6. Terminal: Fixed the terminal operation in corporate networks having proxy servers.
  7. Signals: Added automatic conversion of EURUSD* type Forex trading symbols. If a signals source has positions at EURUSD! symbol, while a subscriber trades on EURUSD (or vice versa), the terminal will automatically detect the similarity of the trading symbols changing their names when copying the signal.
  8. Signals: Added display of active orders and signal positions in the signal's description.




  9. Signals: Added the dialog of consent to synchronize positions on a subscriber's account with signal's ones in case of a positive floating profit on a signal provider's account:



    By default, synchronization is allowed only if the floating profit on the provider's account is not positive. This ensures that the signal subscriber can enter the market at a price that is not worse than the provider's one during synchronization of positions. Thus, the appropriate dialog window is shown before synchronization where traders can enable forced synchronization of positions with the signal, despite the positive floating profit.

  10. Signals: Added the dialog of automatic closing of positions and orders on a subscriber's account before synchronizing with signal provider's positions and orders:




    Before synchronization, subscribers should close positions and remove orders opened manually or based on another signal. If open positions or pending orders unrelated to the provider's signals are detected, the client terminal will offer to remove all pending orders and close all positions automatically at the current price. However, traders can perform all necessary actions manually.

  11. MQL5: Added support of template functions and methods.

    Templates can be compared with a macro (#define) representing an entire function instead of an expression. A template is inserted into the code in case the template function is called based on this call's parameters.
    A separate function (with its own static variables) is added by the compiler for each of the existing sets of the template function call's parameters present in the code.

    Example of the template function for calculation of the array's highest value:
    template<typename T>                       // Template parameters separated by commas are specified in < >. Their number should not exceed 8.
T ArrayMax(const T &data[],const T defval) // Only type can be used as the parameter
  {
   T    result=defval;
   uint size  =ArraySize(data);
//---
   for(uint i=0;i<size;i++)
     {
      if(result<data[i])
        {
         result=data[i];
        }
     }
//---
   return(result);
  }

    Keep in mind that automatic reduction of parameters is not allowed when a template function is called. The parameter type should be clearly defined. For example, when calling ArrayMax function for char type array and CHAR_MIN as defval, the second parameter's type should be clearly defined as char:

    char a[];
   
   Print(ArrayMax(a,CHAR_MIN));       // error, unable to apply the template, as T can be either char, or int
   Print(ArrayMax(a,(char)CHAR_MIN)); // there is no error, as T template parameter can be only char

    Number of template parameters cannot exceed 8. Insertion of templates into the code is performed only by call parameters, evident template typification is not performed.
    Example of evident typification:

    Print(ArrayMax<char>(a,CHAR_MIN));  // Evident template typification is not available yet!

  12. MQL5: Enhanced integer properties received by CLGetInfoInteger function:

    • CL_DEVICE_VENDOR_ID  - OpenCL device vendor ID
    • CL_DEVICE_MAX_COMPUTE_UNITS  - number of OpenCL device computational units
    • CL_DEVICE_MAX_CLOCK_FREQUENCY - frequency of OpenCL device computational units
    • CL_DEVICE_GLOBAL_MEM_SIZE - size of the global memory of OpenCL device
    • CL_DEVICE_LOCAL_MEM_SIZE - size of the local memory of OpenCL device

  8. Signals: Fixed and improved display of charts in the information about the signal. Charts now have the look similar to the one on MQL5.com. The trend line has also been added.



  9. Signals: Changed the algorithm for calculation of the copied deal's volume in case a Signal Source and a Subscriber have different leverages:

    Current algorithm: A deal volume is changed in direct ratio to the correlation of a Signal Source's leverage with a Subscriber's one. It means that if a Signal Source having a leverage of 1:100 opens a deal of 1 lot, a Subscriber having a leverage of 1:500 will open a deal of 5 lots in case of 100% copying and a deposit matching by size and currency. A subscriber having a leverage of 1:10 will open a deal of 0.1 lots in similar conditions.

    New algorithm: If subscriber's leverage exceeds the one of the Signal Source, it does not affect a volume of a copied deal. Otherwise, the deal volume is changed in direct ratio to the correlation of a Signal Source's leverage with a Subscriber's one.
    It means that if a Signal Source having a leverage of 1:100 opens a deal of 1 lot, a Subscriber having a leverage of 1:500 will open a deal of 1 lot in case of 100% copying and a deposit matching by size and currency. A subscriber having a leverage of 1:10 will open a deal of 0.1 lots in similar conditions.

  10. Signals: Fixed sorting of the signal list by the average profit. 
  11. Signals: Fixed information about a signal when working under Wine (Linux and Mac).

  13. Market: Fixed errors in shortcuts of MQL5 Market applications and screenshots.
  14. MQL5: Added TextOut, TextSetFont and TextGetSize functions:

    TextOut function transfers the text to the custom array (buffer) and returns the operation result. This array is designed for creation of a graphical resource. 
    bool  TextOut(
   const string       text,          // displayed text
   int                x,             // X coordinate 
   int                y,             // Y coordinate 
   uint               anchor,        // anchor type
   uint               &data[],       // output buffer
   uint               width,         // buffer width in pixels
   uint               height,        // buffer height in pixels
   uint               color,         // text color
   ENUM_COLOR_FORMAT  color_format   // color format for output
   );

    TextSetFont function sets the font for displaying the text using drawing methods and returns the operation result.
    bool  TextSetFont(
   const string  name,            // font name or path to font file on the disk
   uint          size,            // font size
   uint          flags,           // combination of flags
   int           orientation=0    // text slope angle
   );
    TextGetSize function returns the line width and height at the current font settings. 
    bool  TextGetSize(
   const string       text,          // text string
   uint&               width,        // buffer width in pixels
   uint&               height        // buffer height in pixels
   );

MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal build 803: Full Display in Depth of Market and Dragging Expert Advisors from Code Base

  1. Terminal: Added ability for "full" display in the Depth of Market - each price tick is displayed as a separate line in the Depth of Market.



  2. Terminal: Fixed an error that sometimes occurred in trailing stop operation.
  3. Terminal: SL-TP levels for the order are automatically shifted when moving the order in the Depth of Market using drag'n'drop.
  4. Terminal: Fixed display of Templates in the chart's context menu.
  5. Terminal: Improved Code Base tab - now, MQL5 application can be added to the chart by dragging it from Code Base tab. Added the column with the name of an Expert Advisor and removed the column with publication dates.




  6. Terminal: Restored Trading tab in Market Watch window.
  7. Terminal: Fixed deletion of an account in Navigator window in case of large login values.
  8. Terminal: Fixed reset of the current bar in price history when working with exchange tools.
  9. Terminal: Added logging of deals with trailing stops.
  10. Signals: Fixed an error in handling position closing signals when renaming trading symbols (EURUSD <=> EURUSD!).
  11. MQL5: Fixed making chart screenshots using ChartScreenShot function from custom indicators at OnCalculate entry point.
  12. Added ability to present binary data using b prefix:

    int val=B'101010'; // 42

  13. MQL5: Added the timer event setting function specifying frequency in milliseconds EventSetMillisecondTimer - when using this function, OnTimer entry point can be called at more than once per second.

    This feature is designed for the cases when high-resolution timer is required. In other words, timer events should be received more frequently than once per second. 

    The minimum interval of 1000 milliseconds is used in the strategy tester. In general, when the timer period is reduced, the testing time is increased, as the handler of timer events is called more often. When working in real-time mode, timer events are generated no more than 1 time in 10-16 milliseconds due to hardware limitations.

  14. MQL5: Standard Library. Updated CPieChart and CChartCanvas classes for creating diagrams.
  15. MetaTester: Fixed history synchronization error during repeated optimization passes that sometimes led to mismatches in optimization results.
  16. MetaTester: Fixed an error that in some cases could lead to "freezing" of forward testing after optimization.
  17. MetaTester: Changed calculation of "Balance + max Profit Factor" optimization criterion. In case there is no calculated profit factor (no loss-making deals), the final balance is now used as the optimization criterion.
  18. MetaTester: Fixed an error that in some cases could lead to "freezing" of forward testing after optimization. In some cases, forward optimization could suddenly stop after the "large" genetic optimization.
  19. MetaEditor: Added ability to format the output of integers in the debugger: in binary form - using "b" modifier, in hexadecimal form - using "x" modifier.




  20. MetaEditor: Added ability to show the values for the fields of structures and classes:



  21. Fixed errors reported in crash logs.
  22. Updated documentation.
The update is available via the LiveUpdate system.
