Synchronise Windows local time with the MT5 server - page 4

OnBookEvent() will be triggered, but the time of tick 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 old.

No, not the old one, because I try to take the new server's time with TimeCurrent()

datetime cur_time=TimeCurrent(sv_time);
OnBookEvent() serves only as an abstract event

TimeCurrent is the time of the last tick, might even show yesterday,

at the weekend it shows Friday's closing time.

Look at the code carefully

Was looking for something similar on the forum and came across this (2014)

The previous crutch was much sleeker (by design), but,

I'll try this one.

This crutch doesn't sync correctly either :(
The correct solution is to find out the location of the DC server and synchronise with its geography. (set its time zone in the ntp settings.) Otherwise, a second instance of the "tick/cup synchronizer" will drive the time service crazy, and it will go crazy with just one

No, it's not!

Anything OTHER than MT5 server time is NOT RIGHT, as we trade through the MT5 SERVER!!!!

I would VERY much hope that the MT5 server time itself is SYNCHRONIZED correctly with the time of the Bourse!

In theory, it should be in the technical requirements for connecting to the exchange, that the server time to connect is not rushed and is not lagging, and differs from the exchange in corot.s with the time zone. There also work in real time - ntp as mandatory, otherwise hard to solve problems in operation and protection.

There's also real-time operation - ntp as mandatory, otherwise intractable problems in operation and protection.
Ideally, there should be no time synchronisation issues in an exchange platform.

COnBookEvent will not work, you need to synchronize in OnTick.

You get to use the tick time and take the data at the time of change of the cup,

timeOnBookEvent!=OnTick
