Tester and iClose() on actual bar
If You test your EA under different symbol then iClose("USDCHF",PERIOD_H1,0) returns close price of complete bar. Tester does not model other symbols
The conclusion is, that if I test that EA only on the chosen symbol, then the Tester is using the actual close price of the incomplete bar? Is that right?

please can anyone of you Metaquotes guys explain which value
the iClose() function delivers for the actual bar during testing.
Example:
iClose("USDCHF",PERIOD_H1,0) <--- shift = 0 means actual bar
Is there delivered the actual close of the incomplete bar at that given time,
or does MT give us the close of the complete bar, which is the future actually?
I am talking about testing with every tick.
Many thanks.
