The ACCOUNT_FREEMARGIN function from this code is no longer highlighted

https://www.mql5.com/ru/code/2142

The documentation doesn't google it either.

Is this correct?

//AccountInfoDouble(ACCOUNT_FREEMARGIN);

AccountInfoDouble(ACCOUNT_MARGIN_FREE);

You won't come up with a particularly brilliant idea, the difference is in the direction of ticks, in real trading on ticks the candle may open, bottom, top, close, and if the big candle is at the bottom you can buy and get a profit by the close, in simulation the candle forms an opening, top, bottom, close, let's say the opening and top coincide with the bottom and close too, then on such a candle you can buy, but not get profit, and if the market went down, then here you have a hanging loss order ...

... hence the divergence...

This is why the differences are different... I don't want to invent anything, I just want to use a ready-made solution. My task is not to think up something brilliant; I just want to bring the results of quick testing closer, if not to real ticks, then at least to ticks.

I am not dealing with ticks, my TP is 500 pips minimum. It seems the sensitivity to ticks should not be too high but it is still significant. I think the sensitivity to ticks should be low, but it is still significant. Besides, it may show better results on ticks than on OHLC, but at this stage I do not need beauty but similarity of testing results, fast with accurate.

I thought there's a ready-made method, otherwise what's the point of different testing modes if they are not simulated accurately by software.

Anyway, thanks for the tips)

Is it possible to use this option to calculate the lot as a percentage, replacing MarketInfo of course?

OP_LOTS = (((AccountBalance() * _LosPercent) / 100) / MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_TICKVALUE)) / (pp);

It is convenient because it takes into account the symbol on which it is calculated, because eurusd lot and eurnzd lot are two big differences. i wanted to know how to write it for mt5 and if it is possible
