    Trading Signals

    After clicking "Visualize", the client terminal automatically downloads the signal's trading history, opens appropriate charts and displays signal's deals as graphical objects in the same way as it is done for the trading account's history of the client terminal.

  8. Fixed and improved display of charts in the information about the signal. Charts now have the look similar to the one on MQL5.com. The trend line has also been added.

  9. Changed the algorithm for calculation of the copied deal's volume in case a Signal Source and a Subscriber have different leverages:

    Current algorithm:A deal volume is changed in direct ratio to the correlation of a Signal Source's leverage with a Subscriber's one. It means that if a Signal Source having a leverage of 1:100 opens a deal of 1 lot, a Subscriber having a leverage of 1:500 will open a deal of 5 lots in case of 100% copying and a deposit matching by size and currency. A subscriber having a leverage of 1:10 will open a deal of 0.1 lots in similar conditions.

    New algorithm:If subscriber's leverage exceeds the one of the Signal Source, it does not affect a volume of a copied deal. Otherwise, the deal volume is changed in direct ratio to the correlation of a Signal Source's leverage with a Subscriber's one.

    It means that if a Signal Source having a leverage of 1:100 opens a deal of 1 lot, a Subscriber having a leverage of 1:500 will open a deal of 1 lot in case of 100% copying and a deposit matching by size and currency. A subscriber having a leverage of 1:10 will open a deal of 0.1 lots in similar conditions.

  10. Fixed sorting of the signal list by the average profit.
  11. Fixed information about a signal when working under Wine (Linux and Mac).
  12. Fixed deposit currency conversion when subscribing to the signal with a deposit currency different from the Subscriber's one.

    MQL5 Market

  13. Fixed errors in shortcuts of MQL5 Market applications and screenshots.

MQL5

  1. Added TextOut, TextSetFont and TextGetSize functions:
  2. TextOut function transfers the text to the custom array (buffer) and returns the operation result. This array is designed for creation of a graphical resource.
    bool  TextOut(
       const string       text,          // displayed text
       int                x,             // X coordinate 
       int                y,             // Y coordinate 
       uint               anchor,        // anchor type
       uint               &data[],       // output buffer
       uint               width,         // buffer width in pixels
       uint               height,        // buffer height in pixels
       uint               color,         // text color
       ENUM_COLOR_FORMAT  color_format   // color format for output
       );
    TextSetFont function sets the font for displaying the text using drawing methods and returns the operation result.
    bool  TextSetFont(
       const string  name,            // font name or path to font file on the disk
       uint          size,            // font size
       uint          flags,           // combination of flags
       int           orientation=0    // text slope angle
       );
    TextGetSize function returns the line width and height at the current font settings.
    bool  TextGetSize(
       const string       text,          // text string
       uint&               width,        // buffer width in pixels
       uint&               height        // buffer height in pixels
       );
  3. Fixed loading the libraries using OpenCL.
  4. Fixed operation of CopyRates function when requesting the data exceeding the limitation of the terminal settings - the error is returned instantly instead of waiting for server call results.
  5. Fixed analysis of indicator_color property of a custom indicator.
  6. Standard Library. Added methods for working with text and fonts in CCanvas class.
  7. Standard Library. Added methods for working with CHART_IS_OBJECT and CHART_MOUSE_SCROLL chart properties in CCanvas.CChart class.
