Why Doesn't MT5 synchronize imported tick data?

[landmeister]

Hi all, I recently imported tick data on my MT5 but bars are not visible on the chart (I created a custom symbol for them). Looking at the log file I read data couldn't be synchronized. As far as I know the last improvements on MT5 included a much better module to avoid problems like this. Wher can I find the way to fix it? Thank you in advance.

Create bars from ticks.

Thank you for your response. How can that be done? My data file is provided as ticks.

I'll take a look on it. Thank you very much.

Hi fxsaber,

I tried it but there's an error on line 123. Can you please debug it?

Just checked. Everything works correctly.

Get the latest version here.

Thank you very much. Sadly I downloaded the latest version but I'm having a problem when trying to run your script. I imported my tick data from TDS2 by using a CSV file. It was correctly imported but due to the synchro problem the chart window shows the message of 'Waiting for update' and I cannot run the script on it, obviously.

 

Any idea how can that be fixed?

You can run the script even on this window.
