Strategy Tester OnTick is missing a lot of ticks

[AMI289]

Hi,

I've recently encountered unexpected results when testing my EA on MT4's Strategy Tester.

After a little investigation, I've suspected that OnTick() function does not actually get called on every tick,

So I've created a new, very simple 'EA'.

The only thing in this EA is this line of code under OnTick- 

void OnTick()
  {
//---
   Print("Current Date- ", TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(), TIME_DATE));
  }

To my surprise-

The backtest is sometimes missing whole days of ticks (!!!)

I've downloaded tick data from DukasCopy,

And also, When checking 'Visual Mode', I can clearly see on chart that the tick data is available,

So I don't understand why the Strategy Tester is missing those ticks.

Attached a screenshot of backtested settings and the code for the 'EA'.

Strategy Tester settings is-

Model- 'Every Tick'

Optimization is off

I've tried searching in google and in here, but didn't find a single person complaining about this issue.

Do you guys have any idea why I'm getting this weird behaviour?

Hi, 

Did you find an answer? 

I have exactly the same problem and I am looking for a solution.

But didn't create all timeframes with that data.
