My broker doesn't have data for downloading

That's not what I meant, I know how to update the history,
but from what you wrote (that MT4 data is crap), I thought you had a specific source of better and free data.

Short update:
- reduced max bar to 5000
- implementend standard save/load function

=> CPU consumption around 30-50%

No, but you can use python to combine them https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...r-using-python

Actually here is a much easier method to combine the files.

AK_Fast_X_Slow_RSI.ex4 indicator for MT5
Hi, I've seen your new thread about MT5.
You were so kind one year ago to create the indi on the subject also for my request.
I don't trust too much on indicators but your indi is one of the few that I watch everyday and help me a lot in my trades to understand direction and stop loss to place.
I wonder if there is a chance to have this indi also for MT5.
I would post this request on your thread but I guess that you have your plan to follow and so I ask you by PM for now.
Thanks anyway
============================================

Here is MT5 version of "AK_Fast_X_Slow_RSI_Cross" indicator.

Hi Abokwaik,

Please post the mq5 src files... I'm in agreement with the comments earlier in the thread about compiled files doing nothing to further the understanding and discussion of MQL5.

All this MT5 nonsense is just wasting our time (and money). At the moment (it already lasts for about 8 years) MT5 is for manual traders only. As long as MT5 doesn't feature a usable Strategy Tester it doesn't make sense to start coding for it. This is also the main reason MT5 is not accepted for automated trading. This statement is not only valid for traders but for brokers, too, as they can not offer MT5 to traders interested in automated trading. It just doesn't work (however, it works for manual trading/gambling with the known results). In case...
Hello Emmzett,
You have posted this in February and it is really sadly the truth.
Do you see any changes ever since or some way to go around it and still get your real tick data imported into Metatrader 5?
Let's say we had a solution for that I think it could really increase the value of using Metatrader 5 for automated trading...

MetaTrader5 was introduced at the 09 of September 2009 and since then MetaQuotes hasn't been able to release a version as stable and usable as MetaTrader4. One year in this now decade-old story is not much. The truth is that there's no hope for MT5. The obvious reason and show-stopper is the missing programmatic access to price history, but what really kills people in the long run is the bugginess and lack of stability. Every single released build introduces more bugs and an end is not in sight. Waiting for MT6 is not an option as I have the feeling it will never come.

But there is also hope. Do what the majority of brokers and users world-wide do, and that's use MT4 and live with its peculiarities and limitations. So, my recommendation to you is to get real tick data and use it with MT4.

My general advice would be to not look for strategies which depend on tick data. That's just not the trading spot where a retail user may have realistic expectations. Successful and profitable strategies are simple and you don't need tick data for that. Simple systems preferrable work with the BarClose model only. That's also where testing and optimization are easy and make more sense.

PS: Despite all the nay-sayers here and despite all former announcements made by MetaQuotes my prediction from the above post seems to hold true. Yesterday MetaQuotes released another MT4 version. So much to "will die soon..." But now I give this thread back to the people with brain to slap me around for my dis-graceful opinions...

Be carefull who you listen to. Do your own research.
It takes blood, sweat and enough tears to wash away the blood.

Well, if you check the release notes of both you will see that MT4 only gets corrections/ minor improvements. While MT5 gets major improvements, new functions. Some days ago they introduced a new function to dock/ undock your charts or they announced the compatibly with .net framework. The latest version is much more stable etc. So MT5 is getting better and better. I see no reasons to leave MT5.
