What happens?
When you launch the MetaTrader platform, you may encounter this error.


Why does this happen?
This can occur because of a brief bandwidth interruption at startup or because the platform was launched without logging in with a valid trading account.


How can I resolve this?

  1. Verify your login

    • Ensure you are signed in with your MT5 trading account.

    • Check your connection status to confirm a successful login.

  2. Manually refresh your charts

    • Right-click in the chart window and select Refresh to update the chart.

  3. Reload symbols in Market Watch

    • In the Market Watch window, click the affected symbol and drag it onto its chart window to confirm updated quotes.

  4. Check your network

    • If the issue persists, it may be due to an unstable network connection. Please verify your internet stability and try again.
