Please clarify the COPY_TICKS_INFO tick receiving flag (only Bid and Ask) - can Bid and Ask still be with the value "0" or in COPY_TICKS_INFO mode - Bid and Ask will not contain zeros and the tick flow will be similar to the onein the terminal, in the "Market Watch" window, "Ticks" tab?

If Renat is to be believed, it depends on the liquidity provider.

Is your history from the beginning of today swinging normally? All of it? Without the spikes I described below?

I'll only check that in the evening - with these ticks the whole 3G limit is gone :(.

I'm interested in the tester just working on them, that's all... so that when I access the current bid or ask in the tester, it will give me real prices and not simulated ones. I don't know why I need a tick history in the form of an array...

Transition in 24 hours is correct.
Test method: With the terminal on, I erased the tick history files. Then ran the script twice (since there was no history, the first run of the script initialized the history load).

I'm interested in the tester just to work with them, and that's all... so that when I refer to the current bid or ask in the tester, it would give me real prices, not simulated ones. I don't know why I need a tick history in the form of an array...
