How to fix a bug in the service desk? - Trading Systems

[Deleted] 2017.02.23 03:36 #31

Yury Kirillov:
Try to use in your Expert Advisor all possible ways to receive ticks and OnTick and CopyTicks, and then compare the results and use the most adequate one.

And what does OnTick() have to do with it? It's not intended to receive all ticks, but for processing of the fact of ticks receipt. You don't even need to compare anything here, OnTick() won't be called at every tick and it won't allow to receive all data of MqlTick structure.

Service Desk offered to try it on the new build, 1545. But the result has not changed, as before, requesting ticks from 10 am to 11 am for some papers returns zero arrays, and then the data starts coming from 11.00 for some reason. Maybe after that the ticks are already "normal" when querying, but there is no relevance.

That's pretty much the only message they send. It's been quite a while now, the service desk is not responding. Is ignoring my messages normal?

About ignoring your messages - you have the wrong branch. There's a separate thread about SD. In fact, remind them by writing a comment on the application. Have you attached the code and other evidence to the BOD?

Yes, of course, even explained the code... silence... Thanks for the tip, I'll put it in a separate thread

Made debugging code to check CopyTicksRange. While the service desk is permanently silent, I wondered if there' s an error in the code. My eyes must have glazed over... Please look at it with fresh eyes.

Below is the code, attache the results. First zip - start of Metatrader before trading, the second zip - start at 10:30 pm EST (time in debug files was 3 hours less).

I don't understand why in the first zip no ticks came back on any paper.

At all. Folks, how do you get the tape in real time? Maybe I'm reinventing the wheel and doing something wrong, can you give me an example code on how to get ticks on papers in real time?
