Same Account, different MT5, different amount of real tick - page 2

You keep showing the "Date modified" of the files, but you should also be looking at "Date created" to see which is older.

Possible answers already given ...

  • The "bad" one is a beta build which could have bugs
  • The good one seems to have been running longer and accumulated more data (but you have not shown the creating date, so can't be certain).

Ok here is possibile to see also the creation date, 1 week seems the gap.

I attached also the fresh backtest log

Not even talking about all the "no real ticks within a day" in the 100% "quality" loool. How this be 100% when so much real ticks are missing !?!

Hope some MetaQuotes engineer can enlighten us :) This is what I get from backtesting

There is no need for a MetaQuotes engineer to "enlighten" you. Alain has already answered you.

There is less available tick data on one compared to the other. Also the bad one is a "beta".

Stop using "beta" software and expecting it to work correctly. Stick to only officially released builds.

Why do you need a MetaQuotes engineer ? It's pretty clear, you are lacking history ticks data.

And the 100% quality data is just "marketing".

100% "marketing" I would say. Your backtest are meaningless as they are using mostly generated ticks.

Marketing done by whom? By MetaQuotes? By the Brokers? I don’t get the sense. If I see a data that does not correspond to reality for me it is a "Bug", not Marketing.

I have never requested Beta versions, if I have the Build 3815 installed this can be due to: or MetaQuotes show me that like a current release, or the Broker when I downloaded the platform. I never use Beta software. 

However in my opinion it simply depends on the use made of the platform, the one with Real Tick 28% is less used than the one with 100%, so using it more maybe will also come to report 100% Real Tick. 

Thanks for your time anyway.

Don't take it literally, I used quotes around "marketing", and I explained clearly why I did it.

If you want to report a bug, you are free to do it.

With Fernando we explained you why you had different amount of ticks. I don't understand your "anyway", I am just someone who takes time to explain you what you was not understanding or knowing. I don't deserve an "anyway".

Yes I will contact the tech support and also the Broker to understand why it gives 100% Real Ticks if it's not like that, clearly from the logs. I will let you know in case of news.
Thanks very much :)
