But I'd like to ask a question: I know that, in indices, the indicator doesn't work well, it causes lag in the price and candles. And I know it's already been said that the problem is with the trading account server, but that doesn't make much sense to me.
Let me explain: without the indicator, there's practically no lag at all (at least in 99% of cases, unless there's absurd volatility at that particular moment, and I've been trading on MetaTrader for about 10 years, then yes, there's lag between the price and the candle). When I add other indicators, both the official MetaTrader ones and others customized and created by different people, I also don't have any lag. The only indicator that causes lag is the Azimuth (Oracle and Black Zones don't cause lag). If I lower the "max bars for visual objects" value in Azimuth, then there's no lag (but it would need to be around 10 to 20, which I imagine wouldn't serve the indicator's purpose).
Cagliostro, this isn't a criticism, but I'd like to better understand why only the Azimuth indicator causes this lag on the chart, while I've tested thousands of indicators and the chart doesn't show the same lag. I would really like to try to get you to reflect on this issue, since the indicator is so good and it would be a shame not to be able to use it on other assets besides forex or bitcoin.
Thank you again for your time and effort.
Hello there, I repeat myself, I don't give support in this thread. If you have issues contact me directly via PM or via email.
You can see in the image, I trade daily indices without issues. If you keep facing such problems change broker or change PC, the problem is not directly related to the indicator. It is likely the heaviest indicator you ever tried on MT5 and it's not for the common machine. It's more than 5000 lines of code, and even if it's super optimized, you will never have perfect performance with pure MQL, that's why I developed pure C++ code for the advanced version.
Best.
