Again, there's no shortage of surprises - catching zeroing in a moment!

What was that and should it be zeroed out?

Zero in the quotes is a normal occurrence. I've been applying the null protection design for about five years now:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Refreshes the symbol quotes data                                 |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
bool RefreshRates(void)
  {
//--- refresh rates
   if(!m_symbol.RefreshRates())
     {
      Print("RefreshRates error");
      return(false);
     }
//--- protection against the return value of "zero"
   if(m_symbol.Ask()==0 || m_symbol.Bid()==0)
      return(false);
//---
   return(true);
  }

Is this a feature of the MT5 platform?

I cannot understand how this is possible, and if the price is Last==0, why is this fact ignored on the chart?

There should be no such thing at all! It's always the last price, it's never 0.

Is this a real account?

Post your code that receives and stores this data.

Do you unload the data to a foreign currency account or a FORTS account?

prostotrader:

Are you uploading data to a foreign exchange account or a FORTS account?

I do it in a FORTS account.

Did you not realise that the data for the other account is indicative (i.e. it could be anything)?
