Recent bar problme in backtest

New comment
 

The code below runs perfectly fine in Real and demo account, however in the backtest, first bar (index==0) for all quotes received, this bar in particular, gets the same value for OHLC (equal open price) for CopyRates function.  Please tell me, is something wrong in the code, or what the problem.

Thanks in advance

 Name = "Canlde." + IntegerToString(i) + ".Body";
  1. OHLC should not be equal except on the first tick. (Beyond that, I'm currently, too intoxicated to understand your post).
  2. Don't use a bar shift as a object name. After the start of the new bar, the name is wrong. Use:
     Name = "Canlde." + IntegerToString(Time[i]) + ".Body";

ok, nom problmem, but my question is


Why, this code

CopyRates(_Symbol,_Period,0,TotalBars,Rates)

return always in the first bar, only open price for Hihg, Low and close for every tick in backtest for bar index "0"....

Rates[0].open = read open price

Rates[0].High = read open price

Rates[0].low = read open price

Rates[0].close = read open price

in every tick for backtest....


best regards

Please check the size of the array 
Rates
 

No problem for me :

MT4 build 722.

 

I get the same as the OP

Build 670
