Metatrader oversized resolution problem when installing on Linux with Bottles

How to correct -
One:

• close relevant Metatrader terminal
• open Bottles

Two: select and open relevant Bottle - click Application

Three: expand Legacy Wine Tool

Four: click Configuration to open Wine Configuration Window which can be hidden behind the above window:

• select Graphics tab
• slide Screen resolution to lowest dpi
• click [ OK ] button and close

Five: open relevant Metatrader terminal with corrected resolution - if resolution needs to be adjusted up repeat steps One to Five on a stepped incremental basis - caution - the Configuration Window when reopened expands in size according to resolution and too high a resolution can result in so large a Configuration window - with no resizing feature - that the [ OK ] button is not visible on the screen and therefore unreachable to activate a new resolution setting.

MT4 - MT 5 - Indicator : HORIZONTAL_LINES_V1

Heads Up: This indicator cannot be renamed - it will not show on the chart and alert until renamed back to the default name.

 

[Phylo]

MT4 - MT5 Indicators : SPREAD_LINES_X

⏰⏰This indicator cannot be renamed - it will not show on the chart and alert until renamed back to the default name.

Indicator Objectives

Primary : To draw a synthetic Ask line offset from the default Bid line.​

Secondary : Change the style of the synthetic Ask line, default Ask and Bid Lines​

Spread Options

Spread: Offset only​

Spread: Default only​

Spread: Offset & Default​

Why Use This Indicator ?

I use this indicator on a daily basis to visually monitor a static spread relative to price action with reference to a spread betting* account because I do not use the account charts.​

* in the UK spread betting accounts are tax free accounts​

Other than changing style of the Ask and Bid lines - a by product of the primary objective - if you have no clear idea why you would use it, then you do not need another indicator.​

​

📢

Set to false if required and save via

Spread: Offset only

Default Bid: 1.13458​

Spread Offset = 6 points​

Synthetic Ask = 1.13458 + 0.00006 = 1.13464​

Spread: Default only

Default Bid = 1.13470​

Default Spread = 2 points​

Default Ask = 1.13470 + 0.00002 = 1.13472​

Spead: Offset & Default

Default Bid = 1.13450​

Spread Offset = 6 points​

Synthetic Ask = 1.13450 + 0.00006 = 1.13456​

​

Default Bid = 1.3450​

Default Spread = 1 point​

Default Ask = 1.13450 + 0.00001 = 1.13451​

📢 📢 📢

Recent MT5 updates are another notorious disaster with chart and indicators freezing and all sorts of other shit.

My day trading connections are via infinitely more stable and secure Ethernet cable and via Linux - not Wi-Fi which is prone to interference and other compromising insecurities and via Windows. Cannot comment of Windows - have long dumped MS.

Don't waste your time blaming and trying to fix indicators or looking for solution to fix MT5 via the usual click-bate BS - its the MT5 update that is broken. It is only an MT5 update that can fix it.

Having coded for many years these MT4 / MT5 indicators are a doodle to knock up - but I don't trade via MT5 and keep Sierra Charts as a back up for time frames not accommodated in MT4.

Note 1: I have no commercial connection with Sierra Chart and if MT5 did not have a habitual history of breaking there would be no need for any back up charting.

Note 2: The feature list is vast and can be an infuriating frustration to find how to set up - I find google the quickest.

Sierra Charts - about £20.22 / month
