BUG: Missing Tick (Volume=1) when running multiple versions of same expert
Occasionally (not consistently) it misses the first a tick for one pair and starts with Volume=2
(it may miss other ticks as well but with Volume=1 is were we notice).
The documentation says that ticks can be ignored at some condition:
By new quotations "start()" function of attached expert advisors and custom indicator programs is executed. If by new quotations "start()" function, triggered on the previous quotation, was fulfilled, the next calling "start()" function will be executed only after "return()" instruction. All new quotations that receiving during program execution, are ignored by program.
Metaquotes server has switched to high freq datafeed recently. That may cause the condition above happening at the first tick randomly.

See USDCHF below where the new tick starts with Volume=2.
The output lines which say "start()" are the very first command in the start() function, so there's no code in the expert that could bypass the first tick.
This is from build 186 but also happened in 185 (dunno about erlier versions).
