CustomRatesUpdate Error Generating Giant Bar (since build 1881)

New comment
 

This error updating custom rates, generates giant bar. This error is happening since build 1881.

Really hope you guys improve backward compatibility in the next versions

//Code

      copied = CustomRatesUpdate(custom_symbol, custom_rates);
      CopyRates(custom_symbol, 0, 0, 1, check);
      valid = custom_rates[0].open == check[0].open
         && custom_rates[0].high == check[0].high
         && custom_rates[0].low == check[0].low
         && custom_rates[0].close == check[0].close;
      //Debug
      if(valid == false)
        {
         printf("[%s] CustomRatesUpdate Unknown error.", _Symbol);
         ArrayPrint(custom_rates);
         ArrayPrint(check);
        }

What is the value of "copied" ? What is the value returned by CopyRates() ? Fix your code before reporting an MT5 error.

Your log is weird (incomplete ?). Why is the more than 2 seconds between first lines ? Why is the a difference of 2 minutes 35 seconds between log time and rate time ?

If you want to report a bug, please post a code that compiles and can be used to reproduce the issue.

I respectfuly disagree

im not printing the copied variable, and you are right on that. But there is only 2 seconds between both codes, because i was debugging manually.

Still,

there enough evidece that the rate i input is not what comes out. (if the copied variable equals 1)

//Code

      copied = CustomRatesUpdate(custom_symbol, custom_rates);
      CopyRates(custom_symbol, 0, 0, 1, output_rates);
      valid = custom_rates[0].open == output_rates[0].open
         && custom_rates[0].high == output_rates[0].high
         && custom_rates[0].low == output_rates[0].low
         && custom_rates[0].close == output_rates[0].close;
      //Test
      if(valid == false)
        {
         printf("[%s] CustomRatesUpdate Unknown error. %d of 1 rates copied", _Symbol, copied);
         ArrayPrint(custom_rates);
         ArrayPrint(output_rates);
         DebugBreak();
        }

About the time being registered, renko bars are registered the minute they open. So it is normal this lag between log time and rate time.

Hello @Alain Verleyen, is nice to talk with you.

Can you help @Guilherme Santos please?

He is the author of Renko2Offline that are published here https://www.mql5.com/pt/code/20254  .. this EA is very popular.

The problem he are describing are present into the Renko2Offline EA that he built and is easy to see the problem when it is used into B3´s WDO or WIN and also FOREX too.

By users perspective, the problem produces an incovenient "giant bar" ... and when it happens, is very bad to work into the custom symbol into the screen.

I know so many users that want that problem solved.. please be kind with us.. help us to make it happen.

We need Metaquotes help to fix. We hope this can be done.

Thanks. Best Regards.

I would like to help, but Guilherme has to listen to me and answer questions quietly if he wants this to be fixed (there is nothing to agree or disagree). The information and code provided are not enough.

I would need all information and a test case code to reproduce the issue. Please also note I am doing that in my free time and can't guarantee anything as I am not working for MQ, you can write me in private if you prefer.
