MT5 Memory Monitor offers a solution with a straightforward, on-chart dashboard for a clear overview of the platform's current memory status.
The monitor visualizes memory usage with a meter and provides key resource details:
- Memory usage percentage, shown via an intuitive meter bar.
- Total memory available to the MT5 terminal.
- Used memory currently consumed.
- Available memory remaining.
- Number of indicators running on the current chart's windows.
- Number of chart windows associated with the current chart.
This information updates automatically at regular intervals, enabling users to monitor resource consumption while operating multiple MT5 programs.
The objective is to offer a lightweight resource-monitoring panel that simplifies at-a-glance observation of MT5 memory usage.
Note:
The panel display logic is not explicitly called during initialization. The CHARTEVENT_CHART_CHANGE event is automatically triggered upon indicator initialization, initiating the first dashboard display and subsequent updates whenever the chart changes.
