{quote} Really? because in live real trade I can put 10, although, it's on the dcn server and this one is on demo dcn one can it be the reason? Also, one very special question, is it possible for you to make this open source? I am really interested in the interface and how you are doing this in the backtest, but my strategy uses dynamic take profit, kinda hard to mimic the real-time result in backtesting this way.
You can confirm that with your broker, or try to find a script that shows account settings.

May I ask again for making this amazing thing open source for learning purposes?

Also as I suspected, it's not my broker that gives the error for 1 pip take profit or stop loss not working on your tool take a look at screenshot:

No, I'll not do that ffor now...
And I don't know what is your goal, but I just opened an Alpari ECN demo, just as yours, and all works correctly, no error.

{quote} No, I'll not do that for now... And I don't know what is your goal, but I just opened an Alpari ECN demo, just as yours, and all works correctly, no error.
I'm developing a micro scalping, high-frequency trade robot, it will open and close around 30-80 trades a day. right now I'm backtesting the strategy manually and the take profit is calculated with a formula to be dynamic, some times it falls bellow 1 pip and some times bellow 2 pips. The reason I was asking to learn about the interface is that lots of controls right now will be simple buttons on the chart, that is ok, but the operator can't handle the change of lot size or any internal digital property this way. That is why I'm thinking about adding a draggable interface to the bot that can handle more than just buttons and toggles.

Hi Kis, went through all the thread, you are so kind-hearted, and this EA is almost the best back test EA i've ever used!
Just one little question, can i change the SL and TP of the current trade while it's open?
I'm not sure if i missed some options on the panel, i can only set the SL and TP when i set a trade and can't change them anymore until it close.
If the EA can't do it now, could you please add this function to your EA? I think it's really useful when we backtest one strategy manually.
Just hope you can add this function when you got some free time, best regards!

Hi, This is a very basic EA I'm working on, here is the first version. You can use it to manually backtest strategies with MT4 Strategy Tester. It only works with Strategy Tester, and only in Visual Mode. At the moment you can manually buy or sell, close all positions, close all longs or all shorts. TP and SL can be set in the Expert Properties. 2595164 Additional features will be added later. Feel free to test and share your thoughts. {file} {image} {file}
This is a magnificent job. Thank you for sharing..

Hello Kis
First of all, I am not a professional coder just like you. I am trying to improve my project just like you. It is here and free for now.
I am working on "adding buttons to this project" which works on both strategy tester and real. It works on real but i cant make it work
on strategy tester just like your great work.
I think that maybe we can help each other.
Please please contact me.

AveragePosition.ex4 is calculating the average price for all buy and sell positions and show it as a line.
The other one shows account info on chart. Both are free indicators. I just recode the second one"account info"

It is the new version of Average Trailing Stop.
Close Profit and Close Loss buttons were sometimes causing problems.
Sometimes they could not close all profitable or all lost positions.
Now I have changed the code and they can close all profitable or loss positions with one click at once..
I am still working on this. It will be perfect when i finish this but, there is no perfect on this world, this is an endless game.
I am still trying to add new functions.

This is the latest one for tonight.
Hope you like it.

Hi,

Do you use OnChartEvent function for your button? If yes, that doesn't work on backtest, you will need an other unction that runs onTick, that checks buttons status on every tick.
