Memory
Info
The Memory is a Library for MetaTrader 5 that in tester during optimisation you may encounter passes crashing due to memory shortage. calculate such emergency passes.
Usage
This tool is typically used for enhancing chart analysis and decision making.
Platform
This Library works exclusively on MetaTrader 5 (both build 600+ and newer versions).
Setup
Place the downloaded file in MQL5/Libraries folder via File ? Open Data Folder in MetaTrader 5.
How to Install and Use Memory
1. Storage: Place library files in the MQL/Libraries directory to ensure they are accessible to your projects.
2. Implementation: Include the library in your code using the #import directive, ensuring you match the exact function names and parameters.
3. Compilation: Ensure the library is present in the directory before you compile your main EA or script, as the compiler links them during this phase.
4. Management: Keep libraries organized in sub-folders if you manage many custom functions to maintain a clean project structure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a library file used for? A: Libraries store reusable code modules, allowing you to centralize common logic used by multiple EAs or indicators.
Q: Is a library executable? A: No, libraries are non-executable files containing functions; they must be imported into an EA, indicator, or script to function.
Q: Can I update a library while the platform is running? A: You should compile your EA or script after updating a library to ensure the latest code changes are integrated.

In Tester during optimisation you may encounter passes crashing due to memory shortage.
calculate such emergency passes. However, it is difficult to evaluate all the many variants of input parameters for heavy memory consumption by the Expert Advisor.
Also recommended: Reporting Memory Leaks in Strategy Tester - similar library with strong performance on MetaTrader 5.
You need to find potentially problematic configurations of input parameters of an existing Expert Advisor. And then figure out the causes.This simple library allows you to track the dynamics of changes in memory consumption in a rather simple way.
Example.
To illustrate, let's take a laconic EA and add a few lines to it (highlighted).
The Expert Advisor simply increases its array.
Result.
The picture shows the result of the optimisation.
The memory consumption measurements are similar.
A single pass of the top set will produce this.
Scenarios.
The library allows you to find excessive memory consumption by the Expert Advisor and further investigate the causes in debug mode.
The less resources the Expert Advisor consumes, the more opportunities for optimisation: increase in the number of testing agents - speed of optimisation.
