Hi,
thank you for the quick reply, but I didn't understand it.
I'm not back-testing, the EA is attached to a real-time graph with 1minute candles; what I see is that when onTick() fires for a tick who has a time HH:MM:SS, inside the chart the candle under construction is that who has time HH:MM-2:SS
To reproduce the suspected issue it's enough to create an empty EA who has insidere the OnTick() function the following 3 lines:
MqlTick last_tick;
SymbolInfoTick(Symbol(),last_tick);
Print("TICK: " + TimeToString(last_tick.time, TIME_DATE|TIME_SECONDS));
If you attach the EA tho a graph, I'll see that the tick received and printed by the EA have a timestamp which is outside the range, related to the current candle.
For example, if in the graph the candle at 01:00 is under construction, I expect the bigger timestap of a tick should be 01:00:59 (but I see ticks with timestamp 01:01:XX)
I don't understand how it's possible
Thank you.
Regards,
Alberto
It sounds weird, and I never noticed anything like that. Can't that be just you did not focus properly the last bar? Switch the last bar data in your Data Panel (ctrl + d).
Sometimes (but rarely) the ticks swap (i.e. the next tick has older timestamp), but it is always within one second interval.

Hi all, please see below a screenshot to best explain what I meant; as you can see the candle at 16:41:00 is still under construction but I'm currenlty receiving thicks with timestamp 16:42:XX
It could be very useful if someone could try to run this test in his mt4 platform.

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to MT4 and MQL, but I found a strange behavior on the following code:
void OnTick() {
int order_action_status;
MqlTick last_tick;
SymbolInfoTick(Symbol(),last_tick);
Print("TICK: " + TimeToString(last_tick.time, TIME_DATE|TIME_SECONDS));
}
That code produces an output like this:
2015.10.05 02:00:25.491 PAPERONE_WR_DIVERGENCE EURUSD,M1: TICK: 2015.10.05 01:00:24
2015.10.05 02:00:25.335 PAPERONE_WR_DIVERGENCE EURUSD,M1: TICK: 2015.10.05 01:00:24
2015.10.05 02:00:24.680 PAPERONE_WR_DIVERGENCE EURUSD,M1: TICK: 2015.10.05 01:00:23
2015.10.05 02:00:24.555 PAPERONE_WR_DIVERGENCE EURUSD,M1: TICK: 2015.10.05 01:00:23
2015.10.05 02:00:24.321 PAPERONE_WR_DIVERGENCE EURUSD,M1: TICK: 2015.10.05 01:00:23
2015.10.05 02:00:20.546 PAPERONE_WR_DIVERGENCE EURUSD,M1: TICK: 2015.10.05 01:00:19
2015.10.05 02:00:18.471 PAPERONE_WR_DIVERGENCE EURUSD,M1: TICK: 2015.10.05 01:00:17
The problem is that looking at the chart I can see the candle at 00:59:00 is still forming...using ticks in the future to create that candle....
What am I missing?

Alberto
