MQL++: Interact with Metatrader5 directly via C++ code

We all know MQL5 is a great language. It provides a full set of functions to deal with the market data and to develop programs and automated strategies. But sometimes it may not attend to all of our needs. Imagine you want pass a double** ptr to a function. You can't do that in MQL5, because

Bug/performance issue when running an optimization

Usages for TesterStop

CopyBuffer returns 0

Hey guys! I'm facing an issue with CopyBuffer specifically when using Strategy Tester on non-visual mode . Basically, in some occasions, it fills the target array with 0. This is no indicator problem - at least, that's what I think, because: 1 - On visual testing my EA works just fine; 2 - On
