MqlTick Flags

New comment
 

Hello, I'm kinda new to Trading but I've been programming in C#, C++, Obj-C for a while now, I ain't having any big issues at the moment with Mql5 but this with MqlTick flags...

On this code:

void OnInit()
  {
      Print("Ask: ", TICK_FLAG_ASK, " Bid: ", TICK_FLAG_BID, " Buy: ", TICK_FLAG_BUY, " Last: ", TICK_FLAG_LAST, " Sell: ", TICK_FLAG_SELL, " Volume: ", TICK_FLAG_VOLUME);
  }

I get 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 respectivelly:

But trying to get it from SymbolInfoTick() I get different numbers:

void OnTick()
  {
   MqlTick last_tick;
//---
   if(SymbolInfoTick(Symbol(),last_tick))
     {
      Print(last_tick.flags, " ");
     }
   else Print("SymbolInfoTick() failed, error = ",GetLastError());
//---
  }



Where do the 6 and 24 come from?? What do they represent??

It only shows 2, 4, 6 and 24 as flags for all sessions all the time, no Sell or Buy flags.

Is it an issue with my broker's data feed?? I'm with FXPro.


Can somebody please clarify this issue?


Thank you!

These are flag, that means the MqlTick.flags can report several flag.

6 = 2 + 4 => change in Bid AND Ask.

24 = 16 + 8 => change in Last AND Volume.

etc...

If you don't have Buy or Sell flag that means the broker doesn't provide them.
