Re: Is this spread I'm seeing correct on 10 year EURCAD

That was downloaded from your website using the free option. I have been having connection problems and I think the data is getting corrupted during the download.

Re: Is this spread I'm seeing correct on 10 year EURCAD

I was using this data for a multi symbol EA so not looking at it on a chart, but when I do it looks corrupted? Those long downward streaks on the black background MT5 chart look very suspicious!

If MT5 creates 5 min bars from the 1 min bars does the 5min chart have accurate tick data or are the longer time frames purely candle data? My broker's time is an hour behind ...

Noob Question: How to start...ticks vs timeframe and time adjustment

Hi I apologise in advance for a couple of very simple questions, but this is all very new for me. I'm in the process of developing a MT5 Expert Advisor which at the moment I am testing on a 5 min time frame but looks at a selection of indicators each tick to see whether there is potential for a prof...
