Hi Kis

Great cause that you are supporting I hope Noel gets the help he and his family needs. It makes us all realise how lucky we should be if we have healthy children, especially in these strange times.

I have donated to his Fundraiser but struggling to paste the page up here , can you go look at the page and you will see me there. Hope this is proof enough for you? If so what happens next regards receiving your EA?

Looking forward to trying out your manual strategy tester EA it sounds like a great tool.

Many thanks in advance

Hi Kis

Sorry to bother you again but reading through the thread I see you have an EA that you can trade "live" with? As a scalper that would be very helpful too if you could include the strategy tester EA plus the "live" trading EA?

Also I couldn't see any instructions on thread as to how to install it and get it up on running on strategy Tester?

Many thanks Clive

Please try on a demo first. It was desigend to run on the Strategy tester, I'm not 100% sure about it as live trading tool, but currently I don't know about any bugs. It should work.

On the strategy tested you just should load as any other EA. The only thing you should do different is the the Strategy Tester should be in Visual mode.

Hi Kris

Many thanks for coming back to me so promptly. I really appreciate it as now I can get some serious testing done on it before the markets open Monday morning.

Hi Kis

Me again I'm afraid but having an issue with the EA. It runs ok until I try to change from the basic pinbar chart to my own template when the dashboard completely disappears from the screen/chart????

Does it everytime I try to load on a template thats not the default.

Any ideas why that is?

Cheers Clive

Hi Clive,
I am still subscribed to you, so this is why I am on this thread. I am following a trader called Dazjw2311 his thread is 3 Bar Fractal Break. I am finding it a very good system. Would respectfully recommend anyone to take a look at it. Are you trading any particular system at the moment?
It is really great to see you still active. Good luck in what ever you are doing.

You need to select the template you want to use first and load the EA after that.
On the tester you can do that by setting your template as default for tester. To set a default template to tester you need to save your template as: Tester.tpl

(I'll check later why is the EA removed on template change).

Many thanks the template default worked well but unfortunately the trading pad doesn't respond when I hit any buttons and its locked in one place on lefthand side..

I've attached the template I use so maybe its something in there causing a problem?

If you can help great, but if not I understand not a problem the money went to a very worthy cause anyway.

I loaded your template and the EA is working as it should. Is your chart moving? If yes, what is the MT4 version you are using?

For the position of the panel, because of the tester environment you can't move it as on a live chart, but you can change the position by changing the top_x and top_y values in the Inputs of the EA.

Hi Kis

Yes you are right, there are some indies missing from your chart, but only a couple which have been coded by other traders so I thought that might be the issue so I removed all indicators from chart and it still wouldn't work and yes the chart was moving ok just the trade buttons not working.

I am using Mt4 version 4 build 1260 24 Jan 2020, if that helps?

Thanks for all your efforts I really appreciate it , would love to get it going if I can as would be very useful but don't worry as weekend over now so no rush. Do it in your own time when it suits you.

All the best Clive

Hi,

Do you see any errors in the journal tab? I have the same version of MT4 and it works fine.
None off the buttons are working? The default lot value is set to 0.01. The unstrument you try supports that value? maybe you should try 1 or 0.1?
