HELP needed : SymbolinfoTick and StrategyTester

[och]

Hello,

I tried to compare results of optimization and result from an EA in Live mode.

To be able to have same result in both mode, we need to share the same prices between StrategyTester and EA running in Live mode (even on past data), and I realized that values sent bu SymbolInfoTick and CopyTicksRange or CopyTicks are differents :

I should do something wrong, any idea?

Best regards,

No way, I double check Period and Modelling...

It seems there is akind of unexpected commission or spread added...

Commission should not interfer as I am just asking for prices/tick values...

I don't understand.

I am getting crasy!

From this morning I cannot even download ticks from the UI anymore :

I can click on request button, no ticks are downloaded fro GBPJPY, EURJPY, ... It works for EURUSD.

Then I upgrade the Terminal Desktop Client. I am now using the 2844 version : 

Same behaviour...

HDD/SSD free space?

HDD/SSD free space?

Indeed...
I am using a portable version with a Symbolic link on a OneDrive folder for the MQL5 folder (to share source code automatically between stations - I know there are more academic solution...) and the OneDrive folder have 328Mo free... So that might be the reason.

Thanks for your support.
