Anyone playing around with the MT5 beta? I downloaded it yesterday (or was it this morning?). Anyways, I found a pretty cool feature. The EA is called CharInChart. Here is a pic.

The main chart is an 8 Hour and small window is the Daily.

Hey, there are some major changes and I've read the debates. This is more about finding what is cool.

I also like the 3 and 8 hour charts. Actually, they have a ton of new time periods.

Ummm. It says the server is meta quotes, so I'm not sure what feed they are using.

Testing it since 2 months now. Go to Scripts -> ObjectSphere (or something like that). Useless but pretty neat.
Programmers will love the new MQL5. To bad the Backtester is not included yet. So far no major changes. Chart Objects List and Periodicy has been improved. Thats what you will notice (and appreaciate) first.

hahah, yeah that is pretty cool. I'm sure someone will figure out a creative way to use it. Maybe a globe showing sunlight moving across?

The link below takes you to some MT4 scripts that help you convert your MQ4 code to MQ5 code. Nowhere near perfect but it is a start.

This is page 2 of the thread.

ok im not versed yet with/have read much about MT5.

but here are my initial observation & Q's:
the icons are large (crosshair, bar/candle etc). can they be resized?

the charts seem to 'lose some indicators' (for a few seconds) as if the charts are getting reloaded. is this 'normal' in MT5?

the trade history is a bit different. can we revert it back to one similar to MT4?

when we put trades, different trades (on the same pair) are consolidated. can we un-consolidate the trades?

Thanks!! Happy new year!
