EA Testing, Seconds Modelling

[fxscout]

I am new to mql4, and I would like to see the algorithm of how the seconds are modeled in MQL4 back testing, Thanks.

Seconds are not modeled as such, ticks are.

I can only guess that the seconds are calculated by dividing the time-frame seconds by the tick volume for use with TimeCurrent()

I do not know if I understand it wrong, but in this link talks about modeling seconds https://docs.mql4.com/dateandtime/seconds  Note At the testing, the last known server time is modelled.

TimeCurrent() is modeled in the tester and has been for a long time, not sure about Seconds()

How to get the value of Close  in MQL4        double CL = Close[0]   What is the equivalent in MQL5

fxscout: How to get the value of Close in MQL4  "double CL = Close[0]" What is the equivalent in MQL5

Please read the article, Migrating from MQL4 to MQL5, specifically section 3. Predefined Variables for "Close[]", and I quote:

3. Predefined Variables

MQL4	MQL5	Description
double Close[]	double Close[]; int count;   // number of elements to copy ArraySetAsSeries(Close,true); CopyClose(_Symbol,_Period,0,count,Close);	Close Series array that contains close prices for each bar of the current chart. CopyClose, ArraySetAsSeries
