Why iClose is so slow!

New comment
 

Hey guys


just got weird issue well i solved other way

i wanted to collected all pairs Close price on end of each day

i used

iClose(_Symbol,_Period,1);

i used SymbolInfoDouble  and MqlRates instead query finished quickly!

wondering is there some issue with iClose in MQL5?!

i didnt have this sluggish response in mql4!

 

All you've said is subjective, "slow," "sluggish," and "finished quickly."

Add time measurements and prove your case with real measurements.

 

I had a problem with iBars

which it seems is caused by lack of history for some symbols.

I also showed a problem with iTime and iOpen returning 0 when it was correct the previous tick and the following tick. (Post #8 in the linked thread).

That was in December, I haven't tested it lately.

with iClose in Print Function each take between 4~5 minutes! with MqlRate less than a second!

My posts had nothing to do with backtesting. The checks were done on a live chart on MT5.
