Do you know of a way of simulating trading on historical data in MT4 that will allow me to manually enter trades on a bar-by-bar step-forward basis and exit the trades by means of an EA that automates exit? Thank you.

I'm having troubles running simulations. Can you guide me?
when you can accurately predict the future, you leave nothing to chance.

I'm trying to run DavitsPivotV3.2Auto on the simulation but it did not appear. Then I changed the start and finish candle settings and the indicator appeared but did not update as the simulation ran i.e. the pivot points remained fixed all through the simulation. It is supposed to change as the week passes.

These are the values i changed them to

Choose H1 start candle -> 2018.01.02 7:00:00
Choose H1 finish candle -> 2018.01.08 06:00

Then the pivot lines appeared but did not change for the entire simulation.

I've figured it out. The values I changed have to be changed every week as the simulation runs. Thanks for your concern.
