Prival, you are incorrigible - you take an ordinary situation and try to convince others that it is a problem.
Skipping single minutes because there are no prices. It happens all the time at night.
The tester does not generate missing minutes.
The problem exists and Prival qualitatively argues it, avoiding sharp corners - which again looks decent. And obtaining different results on strategy reports with different quality of market modelling is a well-known fact, so expressions of bewilderment about it are confusing, as it is obvious that real ticks provide the best quality of such testing.
About the story.
It has already been said several times that the server does NOT store the history for reasons related to the large amount of information.
Nobody forbids you to collect ticks yourself and accumulate them (if discs allow it, even for all symbols for 10 years)...
Regarding the schedule
In the market overview there is a tick chart (not very big but there is). I am sure the developers do not plan to add any other tick charts (since the officially recognised minimum period is 1M).
And the question of synchronisation of ticks I have with ticks of other users of DC?
And the question of synchronising my ticks with those of other DC users?
What does this have to do with other DC users? At least 50% of them will not even think about such things as ticks and their history.
To begin with, you should think about what will happen in case of loss of connection with the server.....
These days, with spaceships travelling the expanse of the universe....
If the question is worth money, everything can be realised. And collecting ticks as you need and even five times better, and testing strategies on tick streams, and organising trading, taking into account all discrepancies between testing conditions and real work.
Who is ready to act as a general and maybe exclusive customer?

No exclusivity, there are trading platforms where it is implemented. Too bad MT does not (does not want to) do it. Most of the proposals come from the fact that traders see something good and useful in others. And they want it to appear in MT as well....
Here is a chart without holes.
You're confusing me with someone else. When I say exclusive, I mean exclusive. What I can do, you won't find anywhere else.

In any case, the connection with the server is a separate issue, and the demand for the history of ticks is separate, but the presence of such history on the server, as a guarantee of users' rights and a factor affecting the quality of individually received quotes from DCs and the existing possibility to develop an automatic system ready to work on the real market is common.Since the popularity of Forex is growing, the literacy of users is also growing and it is not a fact that in a year DC will have to deal with the same segment of unassuming users as today, moreover, let's not forget that we are talking about the users of DC who chose the Metaquotes platform just for auto-trading, i.e.segment of users is quite technically qualified and sooner or later they will also come to the opinion that they not only need it, but also extremely necessary. The forum also voices the opinion that the "closer" the data, the easier it is to use them for the system, so the growing demand for the history of quotes is almost guaranteed.
