Is it possible to backtest in metatrader 4 multiple currency pairs in visual mode simulatniously?

And how to manually buy or sell when backtesting?

No, not with MetaTrader. The backtester only records the trades from the main currency pair even though you can open trades on other pairs in an EA.

It's a weakness of MetaTrader.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

Actually I need just visual component of it, I can test only one currency pair, but I want to see many currency pairs, maybe there is EA or something?

There is nothing.
Only way to do it: Have more than 1 Mt4-platform and let the visual strategy tester run on different pairs.
It is a mess. You would need a cinema screen to see what happens
on other pairs while your EA works with 1 pair. Next problem: different speed of backtests.
