note that MACD values differs since 2007.07.16 18:43
(All my MACD values actually apply to the previous minute, that is to say, it differs from 18:42, immediately after the lost bar 18:41)
(3)in MT4 history data center, there stores no data for 2007.07.16 18:41 since there is no tick change in that minute, data jump from 18:40 to 18:42
(4)I have another EA recording every tick, which also confirms (3)
2007.07.16 18:39:29 1.3782 1.3784
2007.07.16 18:40:02 1.3783 1.3785

2007.07.16 18:42:25 1.3783 1.3785
2007.07.16 18:42:36 1.3784 1.3786
2007.07.16 18:42:43 1.3783 1.3785
2007.07.16 18:43:07 1.3783 1.3785
As the result of the above 4 items, it turns out that when there comes to a sudden loss some of consequtive bars, the indicators values calculated online and in backtesting mode are different, and with more sudden loss of bars, the gap becomes larger. Guess that in testing mode, the lost bar was NOT part of the calculation but howerver, it WAS in online mode.
As a matter of fact, I found it also applies to the case when High=Low for a bar, i.e., no tick change in that minute.
This bug leads to 65% loss of my fund, hope it can be fixed in build 207.
