“La plataforma no funciona bien los gráficos súper de sincronizados hay que operar a la adivinanza y viendo en otros gráficos porque si no no hay como operar”
“MT5 is easy to use rather than other apps but there were lot of issues i have seen in past as fees or charges not clarified clearly and date of trade execute may also change sometimes.”
“Good: Easy to use
Bad:
(1) There is no official channel to report a technical issue, especially in MQL5 programming.
(2) It is less stable than MT4. For example, I receive a 10036 error occasionally when my program attempts to cancel a pending order. This is obviously a bug in the MT5 system because the error message doesn't make sense. I have to resort to triggering another separate program to cancel the pending order, or manually canceling it. Some people have reported this issue in MT5 forums but there has been no solution. What I am doing right now is just a workaround: Triggering a separate program to cancel the order if my program fails to cancel it.
(3) Some useful and convenient MQL4 functions are not available in MT5. For example, TimeDayOfWeek(), TimeMonth() etc. This doesn't make sense to me.
(4) Program compilation time takes much longer than in MT4.
(5) This is really an issue with CQG rather than MT5 but I'm including it here anyway for the benefit of AMP Futures and CQG: Other than the front month contract, it is only possible to trade the contract with the next expiration date (only these 2 contracts are available for trading at any one time on MT5. Contracts with further expiration dates are not available). For example, MESH27 (March 2027) will not be available until MESU26 (Sep 2026) has expired. So if I have a MESZ26 (Dec 2026) position in September 2026 that I need to roll-over to MESH27 (Mar 2027), it is not possible to do so until MESZ26 (Dec 2026) has become the front month contract & MESU26 (Sep 2026) has expired. So, if I want to use the Sep and Dec contracts for different strategies, I will have a problem during the transition period.”
