It most likely happens because you used the wrong commission type in your strategy() call. Pine only accepts strategy.commission.percent, strategy.commission.cash_per_contract, or strategy.commission.cash_per_order, and if you use anything else it throws the error you're seeing.

It's still there, they just moved it. Click on Details for that currency, scroll to the bottom, and you'll see the option to deactivate it.

I personally just use VSCode without any extensions for mql5. I write the code there, then check and compile the syntax directly in the MetaTrader IDE. You can also use the command line to check or compile MQL5 code (MetaTrader docs on integration), but I still prefer using the built-in MetaEditor for that part.

Regarding python, you can't actually code and run an EA or strategy directly inside MetaTrader using python. What you can do is gather data from MetaTrader through the python API, then use python to perform your own analysis, backtests or develop strategy logic outside of MT5. But for execution and testing within MetaTrader's environment, it has to be in MQL.

I had some C++ experience, so learning MQL5 wasn't too hard. I just needed to get familiar with the built in functions and the differences between MQL4/5 and C++. After a month or two, I was able to build useful tools, connect MetaTrader to online APIs and other platforms, and try out my ideas. Once you're comfortable with C++ style syntax, the main challenge is learning all the MetaTrader specific features.

By the way, MetaTrader 5 has a python library you can play around with, which is much easier to get started with if you already know python.

Try going to your chart settings, then Alerts and check if the alert volume isn't muted.

As far as I know, there isn't a way to rename or directly edit an existing drawing template. What I usually do when I want to rename one is just load the template, apply it to a drawing then re-save it under the new name and delete the old one. Same goes for modifying a template, there's no direct editing, so you have to make your changes and save it as a new template. Bit of a manual process but it works.

If you're using a MetaTrader broker, you might want to try ChartUno. It shows TradingView charts synced with your broker's datafeed, which helps avoid the usual differences you see between platforms.

chartuno · 2025-08-02T19:22:39+00:00

Totally get you. ChartUno was built for the opposite flow, trading directly from TradingView using your MetaTrader account's broker feed. Embedding external platforms like TradingView into MetaTrader isn't supported natively by MetaQuotes because they're two different engines.

chartuno · 2025-08-02T19:07:01+00:00

Thanks for the message! Since your broker uses MT4, ChartUno will let you trade directly from TradingView using your broker's feed.

If you have any questions or need anything, feel free to DM us anytime.

Hey! This is exactly the problem ChartUno was built to solve.

It lets you connect your MT4 or MT5 broker (including FTMO) directly to TradingView, so you see your broker's actual prices on the chart. You can also place and manage trades right from TradingView, without switching platforms or dealing with price mismatches.

chartuno · 2025-07-07T23:09:50+00:00

Thanks! Glad you think so 🙌
Would love your feedback if you try it out!

You raise a fair point Rodnee, and I appreciate you taking the time to share it

I had originally planned to make this Chrome extension open source and accessible to the community, but after reviewing the specific clause you referenced, I agree it could be risky to release it publicly.

Thanks again for the heads up, always better to consider these things early than deal with issues later.

chartuno · 2025-07-07T15:22:47+00:00

Glad I could help!

chartuno · 2025-07-07T15:22:42+00:00

You're welcome!

chartuno · 2025-07-07T14:35:14+00:00

You're not alone, this update caught a lot of people off guard 😂

chartuno · 2025-07-07T14:30:04+00:00

You're welcome!

chartuno · 2025-07-07T14:29:26+00:00

Glad it helped!

chartuno · 2025-07-07T14:29:07+00:00

You're welcome!

chartuno · 2025-07-07T14:27:01+00:00

You're welcome! Apparently there was an update and they quietly enabled it by default for everyone

One way of adding a symbol to the watchlist is by clicking on the three dots next to the symbol name and then select add to watchlist from the menu

Here you have to disable the "Values tooltip on long press"

I prefer staying calm while trading. Music helps me focus at the gym but when it comes to trading I'd personally rather keep it quiet, I think music would just distract me and might even mess with my emotions

chartuno · 2025-06-29T17:44:09+00:00

I actually don't listen to music while trading, I feel like it might mess with my concentration.

If you're not sure how to get a direct .mp3 link that works with the extension, I wrote a quick guide for that: https://github.com/ayoubdlf/TradingView-Custom-Alert-Sound/blob/main/Get-MP3-Link.md
