And I thought that oncalculate was called every tick
but apparently, some passages are made without a new tick

Nope.

Please see this thread for all details on ticks and OnCalculate:


Dear MetaTrader team,

would you please add Adding alarm(s) via context menu?

E.g.: Mouse pointer on 65.480. Context menu shows "Alarm for 65.480" with available sub menu with four items: Bid >, Bid <, Ask >, Ask<.


Thank you very much for your attention!!

Detached charts still do not remember toolbar setting. If you disable toolbar, it will come back upon terminal restart. This has been the case since dark mode was added

Thank you very much! I didn´t knew that (I use a Trade Pad for Pending/Market Orders).
