I have a question - what does iClose() show in the tester for the zero bar (the rightmost bar on the open tester chart ) of the higher timeframe? If I am not mistaken, it turns out that the bar is not yet closed but we already see its close price as if it has already been completed. I checked it in all ticks mode. Is it so?

Close[0] and iClose(Symbol(),Period(),0) - always shows the last current price (Bid)

Close[0] and iClose(Symbol(),Period(),0) - always show the last current price (Bid)

I understand that if you specify "0", the tester will consider the last bar on the entire history. In this case I consider the right bar on the chart, but it is not the last one.

I'd rather formulate the question differently - the tester is open with M5 period and using iClose/ iHigh/... to simulate work with a bar on period H1. Can I use iHigh() to see how High of a simulated bar on period H1 changes upon adding new M5 bars to the tester?
Or using iClose/ iHigh/... we always see the values of a fully formed bar in the Strategy Tester at the zero bar?

Yes, there is such a hole in the tester, at least there was. I think there was a fix in one of the new builds, need to check.

How can you remove the average line in a linear regression channel? What line should I write this on in the EA?

Now I have checked it in the version 509, but the result is the same.
In my code of indicator (runs in empty EA in visualization mode) there is no error? -

The comments on the screen show that at the moment when the 1st M5 bar of a new H1 bar appears iClose / iHigh / ... etc. already know how things will end for H1, peeking into the future - good idea for a grail to sell ;)))

int start() {

   int Bars_Per_Chart                   = WindowBarsPerChart()   + 1;
   int First_Visible_Bar                  = WindowFirstVisibleBar();
   int Last_Bar_On_Right              = First_Visible_Bar - Bars_Per_Chart + 1;

   if( Last_Bar_On_Right<0 ) {
       Last_Bar_On_Right              = 0;
       Bars_Per_Chart                    = First_Visible_Bar + 1;
   }


      int          Shift_MTF_0           = iBarShift(MTF_Currency, MTF_TimeFrame, Time[Last_Bar_On_Right] );

      double    MTF_Close_0        = iClose(   MTF_Currency, MTF_TimeFrame, Shift_MTF_0 );
      double    MTF_Open_0         = iOpen(    MTF_Currency, MTF_TimeFrame, Shift_MTF_0 );
      double    MTF_High_0          = iHigh(    MTF_Currency, MTF_TimeFrame, Shift_MTF_0 );
      double    MTF_Low__0         = iLow(     MTF_Currency, MTF_TimeFrame, Shift_MTF_0 );
      datetime MTF_Time_0          = iTime(    MTF_Currency, MTF_TimeFrame, Shift_MTF_0 );

You mean you are drawing the indicator on the chart in visualisation mode?

Then everything is correct. The indicator takes the last known data

Yes, I have a shell EA and use it to test the indicator's performance on history.
Apparently the problem will be solved with iHighest / iLowest for M5 considering H1 open/close time.

Please advise why the MACD indicator printout shows only 4 decimal places instead of 6 ... and therefore 0.000190 is 0.000110 there ?

I tried NormalizeDouble(MACD,6) - no result... same 4 digits...
