[MT4] Implement lock ticks for quote events (Backtesting) #226

Closed vdemydiuk closed 3 years ago

vdemydiuk commented 3 years ago

Current implementation has lock ticks for candle event only. Need to add locking ticks for every quote events (like MT5 version): enum LockTickType { NO_LOCK, LOCK_EVERY_TICK, LOCK_EVERY_CANDLE };

I just googled for this, but didn't find anything. What are these lock ticks used for?

Hmm, seem related to:

Maybe this is what I am looking for. The missing Tick events?
