Ping should also be halved - you don't need to go back and forth, but only back.
What if MQs only count here?

Corrected
Added
For the EA to work more confidently
In Market Watch you should add current highly liquid
futures such as RTS, Si, BR
We still need to add synchronisation to the evening clearing.
Added
Made into clearing as well
There was a correction to the clearing (real)
But the result didn't please me at all,
was 49 seconds behind :(
Will check the premarket tomorrow....
Mykalas, you are my idol! :-)
Here's the problem.

The previous crutch was much sleeker (by design), but,
I'll try this one.

This won't work withOnBookEvent, you need to sync it to OnTick.
you get to use the tick time and take the data at the time of the change of the glass,
timeOnBookEvent!=OnTick
TheOnBookEvent will not work, you have to synchronise it with OnTick.
You can use the tick time and get the data at the time of changing the glass,
timeOnBookEvent!=OnTick
No, Sergei!
Your OnTick for the selected symbol might not even come, while OnBookEvent() will be triggered at any change of
glasses of all selected symbols.
No, Serge!
OnTick on the selected symbol may not come, but OnBookEvent() will be triggered at any change of
glasses of all the selected symbols.
OnBookEvent() will be triggered, but the time of the cup change is not fixed anywhere.
Only tick arrival time is fixed, i.e. change of bid, last, ask.
Thus, the market rate has changed, but the time of the last tick arriving is the same as before.
