Ticks not sorted by time?

[Robopip]

Hi,

I have noticed that in my strategy (and function GetSingleTick()) that TimeCurrent() sometimes "jumps back".

Consider this simple strategy:
EXPORT void __stdcall GetSingleTick()
{
TDateTime curr_time;
static TDateTime last_time = 0;
char curr_time_str[80], last_time_str[80];

if (strcmp(Symbol(), "EURUSD") == 0)
{
curr_time = TimeCurrent();
if (last_time > 0 && last_time > curr_time)
{
strcpy_s(last_time_str, from_time(ctime(last_time), "YYYY.MM.DD HH24:MI:SS"));
strcpy_s(curr_time_str, from_time(ctime(curr_time), "YYYY.MM.DD HH24:MI:SS"));
vPrint("last_time > curr_time: %s > %s", last_time_str, curr_time_str);
}
last_time = curr_time;
}
}

Print out this:
2000.03.30 22:45:00 last_time > curr_time: 2000.03.30 22:45:44 > 2000.03.30 22:44:59
2000.03.30 22:46:00 last_time > curr_time: 2000.03.30 22:46:30 > 2000.03.30 22:45:59
2000.03.30 22:47:00 last_time > curr_time: 2000.03.30 22:47:30 > 2000.03.30 22:47:00
2000.03.30 22:48:00 last_time > curr_time: 2000.03.30 22:48:44 > 2000.03.30 22:47:59
2000.03.30 22:50:00 last_time > curr_time: 2000.03.30 22:50:30 > 2000.03.30 22:50:00
2000.03.30 22:51:00 last_time > curr_time: 2000.03.30 22:51:29 > 2000.03.30 22:50:59
2000.03.30 22:53:00 last_time > curr_time: 2000.03.30 22:53:30 > 2000.03.30 22:53:00
2000.03.30 22:55:00 last_time > curr_time: 2000.03.30 22:55:29 > 2000.03.30 22:54:59
2000.03.30 22:58:00 last_time > curr_time: 2000.03.30 22:58:44 > 2000.03.30 22:57:59
2000.03.30 22:59:00 last_time > curr_time: 2000.03.30 22:59:30 > 2000.03.30 22:59:00

Shouldn't TimeCurrent() always "grow" as ticks goes by?

PS I have tried to generate ticks again, but this "problem" remains. DS

Thank you for your notes.

We will check that and will get back to you if we have any updates

I might have found the problem.
The problem is my source data, it seems to have "double" rows sometimes.
Like this:
EURUSD,20000330,224500,0.9615,0.9617,0.9613,0.9614,6
EURUSD,20000330,224500,0.9627,0.9627,0.9625,0.9626,4

My problem now, is to determine which row is valid...

FT Support: Thanks for your help, but I beleive the problem is in my indata and not in your software.
