In the visualiser, F12 is used to move to the next tick. Is it possible to specify the time with millisecond accuracy in Market Watch? After all, we are moving by ticks.
 
If you run the backtest from the 1st of the month, the first tick will have zero volume. In other situations ALL ticks will NOT be "zero".
 
The first tick of the backtest from FUTURE is a tick in which bid/ask is not zero.
 
A100:

In the corrected build 1400 the error in a similar case is now reproduced as 'pure virtual function call'. And without a comment, it's fine.

build 1401. Error during execution: Invalid function pointer call in 'Script2.mq5'.
Found the reason with difficulty

//Script1.mq5
typedef void (*fnn)( int, int );
typedef void (*fn)(  int, int );
#import "Script2.ex5"
        void f( fn );
#import
void g( int, int ) export { Print( __FUNCSIG__ ); }
void OnStart() { f( g ); }

//Script2.mq5
#property library
typedef void (*fn)( int, int );
void f( fn ff ) export { ff( 0, 0 ); }

And vice versa, if only (*fn) is specified in Script1 and both (*fnn) and (*fn) are specified in Script2. The error is not reproduced for all signatures.

But this (and previous ones with typedef) are incidental errors - I haven't found the main one yet, as there is no typedef with the same signature in the source program (as in this example).

Perhaps the returned application #1550570, augmented with a check script and 'String5.ex5' file, will help.

 
transcendreamer:

And it seems that the problem occurs when getting only the first tick on a new bar, the tester seems to "get stuck" and lags 1 bar behind, that is, the expert thinks that the bar does not exist and it really does not in the visualization, but after a couple of seconds the bar appears, in the case of tests on M1 the correct value comes on the second tick (if I understand correctly), I hope the developers will fix this annoying moment as soon as possible ...

addition:

it turns out that to circumvent this moment now you have to artificially skip the first tick of a new bar...

In testing mode " Opening prices only" this is simply unrealistic. We really have to wait for a fix...

Alexey Da:

It's not working for me. Writes one single line in the log (see above) and that's it.

Windows XP SP3 x32, 1395. Certificate message appears when logging in. But it shouldn't affect the tester.

I agree, then the whole bar will be missed, I can assume that in EA you have to pause (hehe) to allow the bar to form,

but it is not clear exactly how long to wait, and also according to my observations it seems to depend on the current CPU load (wow!),

The only way out is tickwise testing with independent check of a new bar and skipping of the first tick (of course it is a very complex process).

 
However, the current Ask and Bid prices can probably be obtained by calling the correspondingSymbolInfoDouble function- what if they are?
 
MT5, connected to MetaQuaotes Demo, often "beeps" with news.wav sound, but no new news is displayed, lists in all other tabs (library, market, etc.) do not change either, nothing is written in logs. I assume that the calendar is changing. But then it would not be a bad idea to somehow highlight what exactly has changed. Now in the calendar is not even clear where the timestamp is and what event is next.
