Expert Setup: Coinbase Spot to MT5

Adjustable settings in Coinbase Spot to MT5Expert include:

• Download number of candles (min=100, max=1000): Defines the amount of historical data (in candles) to be displayed when launching the EA
• One symbol, different charts, same candles: when enabled, the EA loads the same number of candles in all open charts of the same symbol

Note:

When the "One chart with different symbols, same number of candles" option is enabled, opening multiple charts of the same asset (e.g. Doge/USDT) will add the following symbols "+" or "++" to the end of each chart name in order (Doge+, Doge++).

In this mode, all open charts display the same number of candles, and each time frame retrieves its price data independently from the server.

Conversely, when this option is disabled, charts with higher time ranges get the required data from the lower time range, eliminating the need to make separate data requests from the server.

Coinbase Spot to MT5Expert is a useful tool that displays real-time cryptocurrency pair prices in the MT5 trading platform.

This trading tool does not execute any commands. It simply utilizes the Coinbase API to retrieve the live spot market price of a cryptocurrency and renders it on a MetaTrader chart.
