When testing, one can trade with the following methods:
Each tick
Control points
open price

Witch one is the same as the live trading?

It's depend on your expert logics. But the open price method operates with real historical prices. Thus,it is most reliable.

In fact you may test two expert models:
-Tick oriented;
-Bar oriented
Tick oriented expert does some major operations every tick. So because we have no real tick data the same interpolation method using to recover them. The quality of testing depend on an accuracy of interpolation.

Bar oriented expert ignores all ticks exept one,opening a new bar. The testing based on real existing data. So it more reliable.

int start(){

static datetime baropentime;
if(baropentime==Time[0]) // Does new bar jast open ?
return(0); // No, Wait the following tick
baropentime=Time[0]; // Here You are at last
GoAhead(); // Go
}
