Quote History in MetaTrader 5 (MT5)

admin — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 04:54:02 +0000

In MetaTrader 5 the history of quotes is stored only in M1 format (from 1993, before – D1 format) and all the charts are built based on it. When the terminal is first installed, the history is empty. The history is stored in \MetaTrader 5\Bases\Default\History\”currency”\ folder and has the .hcc (uncompressed) format. The history is transferred from the MetaQuotes’s server in a space-efficient archive format of data storing so for example the 10 years 1-minute history of quotes for GBPUSD takes around 10-13 megabytes, uncompressed around 100-150 megabytes.

In order to download all history for a selected currency and show it on the chart, first open the options menu, then charts and select “unlimited bars in chart” option.

Analytics is one of the most important components of trading. Based on analytical data, a trader can decide what operation to execute, when to do it and the profit/loss of the trade. The MetaTrader 5 platform offers you wide analytical possibilities!

Charts

Charts constitute a work field for technical analysis. This is where dynamics of security quotes are featured, technical indicators and graphical objects are applied. The number of charts that can be used in a terminal is unlimited, and they can be positioned in any way. This enables traders to adjust their workplaces to their own needs.

Every chart can be individually set up. Traders can use the detailed setup of color schemes, displaying of additional data objects and scaling, which allows the configuration of every chart according to the needs of a certain analytical tool. For example, you can setup the displaying of separators for larger periods, the OHLS line, and the chart scaling for the adequate featuring of Gann tools.

Metatrader 5 Development – Interview with Stanislav Starikov

admin — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 02:45:08 +0000

The new Metatrader 5 platform and the MQL5 language are nearing the end of development and will be probably launched in fall 2009. MT5 will replace MT4 and the new code is completely written from scratch. The bad point is that MT5 will be not compatible with MT4. This means that every indicator and expert advisor needs to be rewritten to work with the Metatrader 5 platform.

Metatrader 5 features

High performance and outstanding working speed
3 chart-types, 21 timeframes and over 70 analytical tools
5 order types and 4 execution modes available for trading operations on different markets (forex, options, futures and stocks)
