Hi, Anyone encounter this problem before? The system cannot optimise the EA in a lower timeframe. It can optimise at 1-hour time frame for the very same EA.

What code can accomplish importing the current bid and ask price of the currency pair that would be in the account base currency, and that would be used in the TICKVALUE calculation? I ask because more and more brokers are prostituting MT4 data feed by not including incorrect values which the
