I would like a back-testing ea for MT4 that simply allows you to fast forward or rewind on any given timeframe, 1 candle at a time by pressing a button - is there anything that can do this? I am not interested in using F12 as it is very hard to change time frame without seeing the future candles. i want to be able to marke up a chart how i like without seeing the futrue and then fat forward on my chosen time frame 1 candle at a time - whether that in be M1 of H4. It is not necessary for me to have the ability to place orders but no matter if that is possible. Hope someone can help with this. Cheers.

I know if you press F12 it will move forward and if you press shift+F12 it will reverse

Thanks but perhaps you missed this part of my post "I am not interested in using F12 as it is very hard to change time frame without seeing the future candles."
Shame that this simple feature has not been done somewhere. i want exactly the same as pressing f12 but i want to beable to change the charts scale and TF etc without revealing the future. exactly as some of the simulators do but going step by step and not using a play and pause button! anyone know of a way apart from f12?

I've never actually tried this, so no recommendation.
