I've found that, at least when using ArrayCopyRates to send price data to a DLL, the time field in the rate info records does not always have the expected contents. In some cases, the times seem to skip one or more bars (in some cases hundreds or thousands). I've even encountered a situation where the most recent tick on a one-minute chart was supposedly about 77 days older than the tick before it! (That's how I found the issue - it was confusing the heck out of a DLL I'm writing.)
Here's a C++ function I wrote to test and verify this problem:
Here's a sample of the output.. this one for EURUSD, charted on v.4.00 Build 210 of Interbank FX Trader:
This one was fairly tame. I've also tried on vanilla MetaTrader 4.00 Build 210, which reported thousands of errors (there was also much more data returned - over 60,000 bars).
Is this a known issue? What's going on here??
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Kevin
