CopyLow or CopyHigh make some ticks skipped in backtester

[Jean-Luc Plagnaud]

First of all I know that in the journal a lot of info is missing and I have to check the agent logs.

I am talking about the agent logs here.

When I have my code without CopyLow or CopyHigh I see all ticks called

If I do

   ArraySetAsSeries(Low,true);
   if (CopyLow(_Symbol,PERIOD_M1,1,60*2,Low) != 60)
   {
      Print("CopyLow of ",_Symbol," failed, no history");
      return;
   }

then I see 1h of ticks "disappearing". 

I don't uderstnad why retrieving data in the past will make me miss the ticks

Did I miss something or is it weird?

Hi,

Maybe you should just adjust the CopyLow code to look like below using <60 instead of !=60

if (CopyLow(_Symbol,PERIOD_M1,1,60*2,Low) < 60)
   {
      Print("CopyLow of ",_Symbol," failed, no history");
      return;
   }

But the issue is not that this part of code is not working, it is working, I have no errors.

The issue is that after the code is executed, the tester behaves like it will skip 1 hour of tick (like it doesn't call the code for a number of tick equivalent to 1h)

I can see in the Agent logs that the ticks that are normally present are skipped.

Is there anybody from Metaquotes that could answer this question in order to help people to migrate from MQL4 to MQL5?
