The Expert Advisor has the following code (long after a rising candle, close position after a falling candle):
{
printf("Сигнал на покупку");
trade.Buy(1);
}
if (PositionsTotal()>0 && Close[1]<Open[1]) trade.PositionClose(Symbol());

Many trades are executed (in the tester). But some deals are executed at unrealistic prices.
For example, at the current price 131540, maximal candle 131630, we buy at the price 134570.

Why does this happen? Where does the left price (134570 in this case) come from? The vast majority of trades are at normal prices, but one out of 20-30 trades is at some left-hand prices. On the chart such deals are also displayed well above the candle.

Switch on the ask price display. Because purchases are opened at ask price and candlesticks are at bid price.
How? And what does ask have to do with it if the quotes were not even close to that on the story?
Are you sure? Is the server demo or real? Have you unpunched the tick history from 10:00:30 to 10:01:30?
Added:
Although I doubt the correctness of the history, which is TRY years old:

Hi all. Can you please tell me what is wrong here?
double RedLine = iCustom(Symbol(), 0, Forexofftrend3, CountBars, SSP, Kmin, Kmax, 0, 0);
When compiling, it writes Forexofftrend3 - undeclared identifier.
And so with any invoked indicator.

Turn on the ask price display. Because purchases are opened at ask price and candlesticks stand at bid price.
You were right.
I did the ask price - it is higher by 3030 pips than bid/ask.
And on most of the history it is 10 pips (the real price step of this instrument), but on some of the history it goes up to 3030 pips (at 18:44 in the underscore).
How do we change that?
