Hi HanifBukhari,
See attached gif

Open Strategy Tester and set it up like my gif .
The EA allows you to manually take trades with your take profit/stoploss just like you would on a live or demo account.
Hope this helps

Dear Kis

Really love your work, so far this is the best EA that I found!!!. however, I have some display issues. is it too much to ask for a fontsize setting some where on the UI? Or, any suggestions on the size of the panel resizing?

As you can see, my screen resolution is kinda too high, so texts are not properly displayed. Really appreciate if you can give some help! thank you very much!

This maybe of use to some MT4 and MT5 users

Right click on desktop shortcut (MT4/MT5}
Left click "Properties"
"Compatibility"
Change high DPI settings
"Tick" Override high DPI scaling behavior.
Scaling perform by:

Application

System.................if this is selected then thin and dotted lines are selectable in MT4/5..old CRT quality display.

System(Enhanced).....if this is selected then thin and dotted lines are not available but the resolution is better.

Close MT4/5 for the settings to be applied.
Most if not all EAs and indicators which do not display correctly using Win10 (I think it is more Win10 related) and HD monitors will be displayed as they were intended if the above settings are used.

Hi, lpp Thanks a lot! the setting works! After it is correctly displayed, the panel became extremely big, but at least I can see every letter on it now.

To be honest, even compared to some of the payed manual testers this one seems to be the best! I do programming in mql 4 so I know this must have taken some time to make work to this degree. Unfortunately, version you have sent me does not allow for SL/TP usage, there are no checkboxes.
Is this because of expired demo version? Screenshot included:

Thank you. No, it's not because of demo, this is bug... What MT4 version do you use? It works ok for me on 1220.

Hi Kis, I am also using 1220, I have tried to reinstall and also tried to use it on different broker. Still missing the checkboxes. But i have found out that if i try to click on that place where checkbox should be i can get SL functionality. Its just hard to hit it or know whether i have it on on off. May this have something with monitor resolution? Seems strange. I may try on different computer.

Hi Kis, thank you very much. I really like your EA it is a tremendous help and a great piece of programming. I understand that your time is valuable and limited, but if you could would you be able to add an option to set the SL and TP to a multiplier of the ATR? It would allow me to change the values without having to manually calculate and key them but still allow me to manually initiate an order.

Thanks

I am using windows 10 at home. I have tested with windows 7 professional at my work and it works well (checkboxes are shown). Is there reason why it would not work on win 10?
