Sorry, but I want to understand and learn. I'm testing the "Summer" challenge. Apart from the fact that I hate the MT5, because it is a platform for a Trading Algo and not a manual one and for the fact that the MT5 has very few custom indicators. By the way, many of these don't work or work - update after update - badly. But a Trader Scalper - who opens one or more Basket sets of 7 operations each - what must he do to know exactly the correct balance in progress (with open operations)? MT5 calculates commissions at close. The positive or negative...
Is it the best ... no it's not !
But as you have mentioned it performs many of its operations very differently to its 'brother' MT4.
I suggest you search for either an indicator or an EA that will capture and display the information you require in real time and ongoing.
Have you searched via mql5 site ?
I understand your concerns regarding trading baskets of currency pairs and what have you as these are far more involved than the 1 to 2 manual entries so you will require an EA for your purposes.
Failing the EA approach means you will either have to depend on your own eye-balling which most likely will not be easy or connect your trading account to an analytics site that better meets your requirements.
Best of searching,

{quote} Not happy with MT5 either. Trying to find solution to copy trades from MT4 to 5%ers MT5. It somehow does not want it. I have people looking into it. For managing I use this indicator. @Masterrmind - the indicator Market Sessions is great. Is there a chance for MT5 version ? {file}
The problem though is traders tend to want their own custom design meaning they can't always get exactly what they want.
I for one don't like large overlapping colored rectangles covering various trading sessions whilst other traders love them.
ps. whilst I love coding in various languages I'm not freed up enough to get heavily involved here with various coding requests because I know traders just want to keep adding and adding and adding ... all this means ... TIME ! Only exception is my own trading strategies shared on FF.

{quote} MT5 è in realtà una piattaforma di trading abbastanza buona una volta che passi il tempo per conoscerla. È il migliore... no, non lo è! Ma come hai detto, esegue molte delle sue operazioni in modo molto diverso dal suo "fratello" MT4. Ti suggerisco di cercare un indicatore o un EA che catturerà e visualizzerà le informazioni di cui hai bisogno in tempo reale e in corso. Hai cercato tramite il sito mql5? Comprendo le tue preoccupazioni riguardo ai panieri di trading di coppie di valute e cosa hai in quanto questi sono molto più coinvolti...
I follow this thread with great interest. Your information and the shared experiences of all the Traders who test the Prop,
are a precious mine. Really very important. Thank you again. But I think that - in parallel - there should also be information
on the functionality of the platforms. So that a Trader is aware of all the strengths and weaknesses. And on their tools,
in particular the management ones, useful for passing the different tests, after having selected those that are ideal for themselves.
It is useless to choose a prop and then fail. Not because your technique is wrong, but because you don't have adequate tools to keep
the evidence under control. I'm not talking about control at closed trades (there are thousands of tools on the Internet for this), but
more importantly, tools that inform about the condition of ongoing (still open) trades. And these tools don't exist. Or at least for MT4
they didn't exist before, until I edited and published some indicators. Knowing the situation of one or more open operations allows you
to have an accurate control of the ongoing progress of the challenges. On the other hand, for MT5, which has been on the market for
several years now and - although Metaquotes wants to make it its only solution - there are no well-coded and really useful tools.
There are no free and there are no fees. I have spent my days looking for them for several years.
These two are the only ones found for MT5 (and they are partly wrong). If you watch the video (if necessary click on the image if
it does not start automatically), the reported amount is the gross one. Before the commissions.
MT5 only counts commissions once all trades are closed. Any indicator or EA, displays current data which is gross of commissions,
so amounts not real. There is no indicator or EA that calculates the net amount (current earnings minus commissions).
There is not even a reliable one that calculates the gross, let alone the net. And no code to change ... update ... make functional.
For my trading on MT4 it is not a problem. I work with Baskets on synthetic charts based on Currency (all YEN or all USD etc.).
I use this platform and copy open trades with a manual EA, on MT5.
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...istory-the-eos
In the image, left and below, I have the closed result of the day. Above the open one. All net (with all expenses calculated).
There remains only the discrepancy between the net result of the MT4 and the gross one of the MT5. Which is no small thing.
Ok. Sorry for the off-topic.

{quote} Lol it's always gotta be something new with FT. What do they even mean smh. Their mt4 conditions are very different from the real market so how do they expect that it would perfectly replicate real market conditions. We'll see.
