If your charts in MetaTrader 4 (MT4) or MetaTrader 5 (MT5) are displaying the message "Waiting for Update," it could be due to several reasons:
- Login Issues: Ensure that you are logged into your trading account. If your login session has expired or if you are not logged in, you will not receive real-time updates.
-
Internet Connection Issues: A poor or unstable internet connection can prevent the platform from receiving real-time market data. Check your connection to ensure it is stable.
-
Server Connection Problems: Your trading account may be disconnected from the server. Check the bottom right corner of the platform for any server connection status messages. If you see a red "disconnected" message, try reconnecting to the server.
-
Chart Settings: Ensure that your chart is set to display the correct timeframe and that you have selected a currency pair or asset that is actively trading.
-
Platform Updates: If the platform is not updated to the latest version, it might encounter issues displaying real-time data. Make sure you are using the latest version of MT4 or MT5.
-
Reboot the Platform: Restarting the MT4 or MT5 platform can often resolve temporary glitches. Close the application completely and then reopen it.
