{quote}I've found developing, debugging and testing indicators is so much quicker in mt4, eg I regularly quickly test/debug indicators in mt4 tester, either testing as indicator or ea and dropping indicators on, and recompiling on the fly to assess changes and printouts, and to run forward quickly or slowly. In mt5 I have to start/stop a full tester window setup, each time I want to make a single change, and the mt5 tester regularly loses the option to pause or change speed, and you can't load other indicators dynamically either.

{quote}I've also found the graphical chart update in mt5 is annoying, as in the chart prices will shift left on a new candle, of course, but objects and indicator buffers take a split second to update their positions, as if there's 2 separate chart update processes happening, this is besides having to use chartredraw().

{quote} Mt4 natively has timeseries indexing for the oncalc parameter arrays, and the buffers too, in mt5 this to be manually done. Mt5 is also missing the predefined timeseries arrays of Open[] High[] etc, which are handy to use outside oncalc function block, even inside oncalc the syntax highlighting is useful. You have to resort to a macro mt4 set or use the cumbersome rates copy to an array just to get a single value or timeseries iOpen() which is much more typing for something was, in mt4 a single word like High[].

{quote}The only benefit mt5 has that I've noticed with indicators is that chart histories can be much larger, as indicators calculate much faster, and I've noticed a higher object count is achievable without chart lag, but these features are not worth the numerous tradeoffs. I suppose the extra buffer styles are nice, and the market depth could be useful but it just doesn't seem to be commonly supported with brokers.

Linie nie mogą przecinać ani cieni ani innych świec. Niech wskaźnik szuka trendów tylko w danej dobie i niech nie rysuje linii trendu, która zacznie się jednego dnia a zakończy drugiego.

If you have a certain version of something, and it's stable, reliable, dependable, does everything you want and need, the only reason you would upgrade is if the new version is the same but shinier. If you have to start changing this and that to support the new os, and you also have heard lots of updates and issues with it, there's less of a point to...

{quote} I haven't looked into how much time it takes to update the object/buffer positions on a new candle, so I'm unsure how this is different then in MT4. Since MT5 has been proven 20x faster than MT4, I don't think that will be an issue.

As far as debugging and testing indicators, simply apply it to a chart window and hit compile. Your changes will be reflected in the indicator.

What are the tradeoffs? MT5 has everything that MT4 has but with more control, and it's 20x faster. {quote} I think it's because of the massive amount of MT4 trading tools available and MQL5 isn't as "easy" to learn as MQL4.

Hello friends. Do you know a way that allows me to easily switch to different time zones other than predetermined time zones in the Mt4 environment? For example 7 minutes or 10 minutes. Unfortunately, FxBlue and the built-in Mt4 app are not useful for me and do not give me the time frames I am looking for.
