This tool for MetaTrader 5 is specifically engineered to streamline your trading operations. This library provides a collection of modular, reusable code. It is utilized by developers to organize common functions, allowing for the integration of complex logic across multiple Expert Advisors, indicators, or scripts without the need for code duplication.
How to Setup and Use On Tick Multi

4. Management: Keep libraries organized in sub-folders if you manage many custom functions to maintain a clean project structure.

Description & Settings
In MT5, the only occurs on the symbol on which the EA is running. Therefore, various tricks are used for multisymbol trading.
This library creates a multisymbol all specified trading symbols. A convenient wrapper of the .
Example.
Let's show the work of the library on the example of a multisymbol Expert Advisor that counts the number of incoming ticks for each specified symbol.
Result.
To check the correctness of the Expert Advisor, let's run it in MT5-tester.
After comma in the input we set the symbols to which the multisymbol OnTick will react.
The tester generated the following (see the Log).
The highlighted part shows that absolutely all the ticks generated by the Tester for the specified symbols were processed by the multisymbol OnTick.
What for?
With this library, the result of the Expert Advisor's work in the Tester can be independent of the selected basic symbol.
Ticks on the required symbols are not skipped.
