Renat, give up, they will be chiselling again and again anyway, and when you refuse to do so, they will spew nonsense.
The suggestion is quite sensible, especially since uploading tick history can be made optional for now, and then you can completely switch to cutting history from ticks in the terminal, as you are cutting it from M1 now.
But you will be able to nail one more star on the shield "we have a full-fledged deep tick history", maybe for someone it is really important!!!!
You don't need it. It is about the possibility to substitute your own data instead of the generated ticks, while completely disabling the cloud, visualiser and access to the standard history.
For example, you run on EURUSD+GBPUSD. You have put your history only in EURUSD, the tester does not provide the standard history for GBPUSD. If you have not loaded anything in GBPUSD, it means zeros.
That is, all the problems are on the user, there is no M1-history, etc. There is only some data on (already own) symbols, on which the tester works out trade orders.
If you run AUDJPY, then you need to enter the history for AUDUSD and USDJPY to calculate the tick cost and margin. In general, Metaquotes should not bear any responsibility for this mode.
A long time ago I came up with a simple strategy for a scalper-pips, I programmed it many times, optimised it, the results when testing at OHLC prices on M1 were good, but when running in the tester in all ticks mode - the results were negative. That's why I gave it up. But now I thought carefully, doubted in the tester and decided to try it on the real, and oh wonder! Everything works, the results as in the tester at OHLC prices on M1. Conclusion: the tester mode "all ticks" is sometimes a very harmful thing that can mislead you and make you abandon a good strategy.
Can you imagine the real account's stats and the results of the test on the same interval in the tester?
Can you present the real account status and the results of the test on the same interval in the tester?
I'm testing on real only the second day, let it work for a week, now there is not enough data for comparison
If there is a drawdown, switch it off immediately. A couple of days is not a statistic, it could be just luck. For example, you may have fallen into a trend or flat (depending on what the algorithm is designed for).
But comparing real and tester for a couple of days is also good for rough estimation.
If you do not want to test on loaded (collected) ticks, please introduce as an option the generation of ticks using the following algorithm for more plausibility (OHLC).
If there are more than 4 ticks, the price rollback always = High-Low, i.e. the maximum movement:

Actually, you are suggesting us to roll back to 2003....
Please explain in detail, in my opinion, situations when the price moves like this often happen and if the candle is long and the stop is short (trawl), the result of testing will change very much, I think it is not very difficult for you to add such an option.
Have you read the article we are talking about here?
It describes the method you mentioned in the MetaTrader 3 history.
