Message: [QUOTE="Enivid, post: 140957, member: 1"] A new major update to the MetaTrader 5 platform has become available yesterday and is now being propagated via brokers' servers - Build 1730. The update focuses on enabling synthetic financial instruments (custom trading symbols) and MQL5 Editor project management: [LIST] [*]It is now possible to work with [B]projects in MQL5 Editor[/B] - similarly to how it is done in major coding IDEs. The projects can also be cloud-stored on MQL5 Storage. [*]It is now possible to create [B]custom synthetic trading instruments[/B] with user-defined rules. For example, you can define the [URL='https://www.earnforex.com/metatrader-indicators/USDX/']US Dollar Index[/URL] and add it to Market Watch. [*]Added [B]MQL5 Cloud Protector service[/B], which enables developers to securely share their compiled apps with designated users (similarly tho how it is done in MQL5 Market). [*]Added [B]High/Low columns to the Market Watch[/B] - they display the daily High and Low values for each symbol. [*]Added possibility to [B]edit the tick history[/B] of a trading instrument in Terminal. [*]Added possibility to open [B]preliminary live accounts[/B] via the platform. When a trader opens one, the broker contacts the trader and finalizes the account opening process. [*]Added optional [B]milliseconds display[/B] for the time in the Market Watch window. [*]Added to MQL5 language a whole new [B]set of functions to work with the synthetic instruments[/B]. [*]Added new library to the MQL5's Standard Library - [B]Generic Data Collections[/B]. It offers classes and interfaces to work with collections (maps, lists, sets, etc.). [*]MQL5's [B]union data type can now work with type templates[/B]. [*]Added [B]SYMBOL_VISIBLE[/B] property to check whether the trading instrument is visible in the Market Watch. [*]Added [B]CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_WHEEL[/B] event, which is generated when the mouse wheel is used in the chart. [*]Added three new chart properties: [B]CHART_EVENT_MOUSE_WHEEL[/B] (disable/enable mouse wheel event generation), [B]CHART_CROSSHAIR_TOOL[/B] (disable/enable switching the mouse pointer to crosshair), and [B]CHART_CONTEXT_MENU[/B] (disable/enable right-click context menu). [*]Indicator buffers with DRAW_NONE drawing style [B]no longer affect the chart scale[/B]. [*]Changing CHART_SCALEFIX property now [B]generates CHARTEVENT_CHART_CHANGE event[/B]. [*]Added [B]ArraySwap()[/B] function to easily swap the contents of two arrays. [*]Added [B]TERMINAL_RETRANSMISSION[/B] status property to find out the percentage of lost packets over the TCP/IP network. The data is requested from the operating system and includes the packet losses for the whole system, not only the terminal. [*]Added a simple [B]GUI tool to include libraries and import resources[/B] in the program code. It is now possible just to select the required file and MetaEditor will generate an include/import directive with properly set path to the file. [*]It is now possible to [B]insert the source code of the chart template into an EA[/B] or a script, then save the template's code as a file, and then apply that template from a file to the current chart in run-time. [*]MetaEditor can now [B]convert strings between ASCII, HEX and Base64[/B] formats. [*]Added [B]Dutch translation[/B] of the MetaTrader 5 user interface. [*]Fixed some other bugs, errors, and improved the execution speed with some processes. [/LIST] MetaQuotes' release announcement is available here: [URL]https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/222953[/URL] If you find a bug or some undocumented feature in the new build, please post about it here.
