This field allows to block ticks on every new time frame (candle) in the backtesting. If BacktestingLockTicks = true that the expert will be paused on each time frame (M1, M5, M10, etc) and it will wait on incoming command "UnlockTicks" from cliend side. This functionality can be used to perform big calculation on client side and send command using actual tick values for backtesting.
