Market Watch and EA time out of Sync

[Deleted] 2009.06.30 05:02

I have noticed that the time on the EA/chart will lag from 30 seconds to 3 minutes at times, can anyone tell me what would cause this?

Ex: Market Watch 1:15

EA Time 1:13

The EA Time has the time of the last incoming tick.

Thanks for responding Psousa... can you explain the tick to me, I'm new with this, and would it go up to 3 minutes at times. Someone suggested I get a VPS?

Thanks,

Tick is the last change of price. Every time a new tick comes your start() function in the EA is executed.

And yes, sometimes there's no price movement and this causes delays. VPS has nothing to do with that.

But if you wish you can get one and put your EA running 24 hours a day.

Any questions from newcomers start() function running too Impulse
