[Error MT5] Marked Closed - Backtesting

New comment
 

Hi everyone.

I am trying to evaluate the Cotton (#Cotton_v20) market, I have imported an updated chart with Bars and Ticks from Tickstory.
(This isn't the first time I've updated the charts)

The problem is that when I start the backtest, Journal writes me this error: Market Closed
I state that the back test chart works regularly, but having an error in the log, I'm not sure that everything works smoothly and that the results are quite "real" or reliable.
(Reliable as much as a backtest based on the past can be this, but then I keep it in demo for a few weeks and I check)

Any help to correct this error?


Software config: MT5, Windows10 server, VPS

I tried copy from original symbol, maybe i have a wrong time, i try copy time from official trade time for Cotton.
I am confused with time zones, my time, broker time, symbol time :-)

The function gets into open_array the history data of bar open prices for the selected symbol-period pair in the specified quantity. It should be noted that elements ordering is from present to past, i.e., starting position of 0 means the current bar.

The specification is indicated by the time of the trade server. You can see the trading server time in the 'Market Watch' window
