Tester problem with Bid

New comment
 

While testiing on the Visual Tester I noticed that Bid returns the actual Bid from this past Friday instead of current Tester Bid.

Not sure what the problem is here. Is it becuase the market is closed?

MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_BID) doesn't help.

This is pretty silly.

Any workaround for this?

PS. since I am looking for Bid right at the open of new bar I just used Open[0] for Bid and Open[0]+MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_SPREAD)*Point for Ask

But for other cases it's unacceptable.

 

You can use iClose:

Rosh, point taken.

Looks like everything is off in test mode on weekends.

IsTesting() =false;

IsVisualMode()=false;

Is this happening because the dealer is actually disconnected on weekends?

Maybe it's a hint that I should take a break on weekends and resume work on Mondays :).

 

Maybe I know why this is happening...

I am actually testing an indicator that I add to the tester chart, but seems that indicator takes these values from an actual not a test mode in visual test chart.

 
I have this problem too -- just posted a new thread. Any resolutions would be appreciated.
