fxsaber:

Clearly, only CopyTicks can be more or less trusted for real trading.

Life among defective bars existed before CopyTicks

fxsaber:

You can see these parameters in the screenshot above - they match, of course.

That way you don't have to go to all this trouble!

I don't think you should start panicking straight away, but rather write a questioning letter to the broker's technical support team...

Alexander Puzanov:

The Expert Advisor receives data from the bars and does not know if it is faulty or not. Therefore, it can make a big mistake. With CopyTicks, the probability of missteps is much less.

There is no panic at all. On BCS-Real the ticks are going (copytics) quietly and the bars have not updated for a few dozen minutes.

"Fixed".

To the advisors on VPS a big hello!

Yes, interesting picture. When the time coordinates go to 18.00 instead of 17.30/31...

tried with FileExists - but how do you know the licence .........

FileExists outside the sandbox will return false anyway, which is an unnecessary limitation in itself

FileExists outside the sandbox will still return false, which is an unnecessary limitation in itself

Market folder in sandbox

[A100]

Vladislav Andruschenko:
Market folder in the sandbox

I couldn't find such a folder, but then it's doubly strange that ::FileExists has access to it and other folders with .ex5 don't. It is not clear why such access is more dangerous

In the reference:

1. Set values for input parameter of integer type

boolParameterSetRange( const stringname,// parameter's name (input variable ) boolenable,// allow optimization of the parameter longvalue,// parameter value longstart,// initial value longstep,//changing step long stop//end value );

2. Setting values for an input parameter of the real type

ParameterSetRange( const stringname,// parameter name (input variable ) doubleenable,// allow optimization of the parameter doublevalue,// parameter value doublestart,// initial value doublestep,// step change double stop//end value );

should probably be a bool?

Compilation error

int f( int i )
{
        while ( true ) {
                i += ::MathRand();
                if ( i > 4096 )
                        return i;
                i++;
        }
}//error: ')' - not all control paths return a value

That examplehttps://www.mql5.com/ru/forum/1111/page1674#comment_2763828 was corrected, but not completely.

MathRand() is added to make sense of the example. In the original version another function (and not one) + else + continue + switch with its break .
