EA Pad PRO - New Contemporary Information Block for our experts.

How much is your time ?, - it is priceless!

In time, the information provided is the key to a successful life.

We present to your attention an information panel for our experts.


" Being informed means having a lot of money ."

(Jacques Attali)





Foreword

For many years we programmed scripts and programs, increasing our experience, we aimed to bring our products to the peak of perfection. But they completely forgot about the information that our programs give us.

Boring black terminal graphic. Green Bars and a running price - Is this enough to keep abreast of developments? Perhaps even more open news sources, indicators, Analysis.

But not for an expert who "quietly" is working on your account. Not giving you an idea of what's in his "soul."

The hidden algorithm of the expert for the programmer is the most important rule. Another thing is when you order the script individually. There you have the right to control logic, to see it, to modernize. After all, an expert to orderis a clear fulfillment of your requirements.

But what if you downloaded a free experton the Internet? Or bought it in the market of advisers?

From now on, in our experts, you will be able to see all the available information about the adviser's work straight on the chart.

Why do you need a black screen with green bars? Observe the Information!

    This is an individual unit, and for each expert, individual information will be displayed here, for example, the EXP-SWING advisor:

    Block that displays information about the current settings of the Expert Advisor.

    Swap BUY SELL- shows swap levels for the symbol.

    Tick Value \ Size- shows the cost of one tick of the current price of the current symbol on the current account. \ Displays the size of 1 tick in points.

    The information is displayed in dollars and in percentage, and the number of transactions is displayed.

    Testing Speed and Pause, Current Open Positions Table


    In the mode of visualization and testing of our advisors, it is possible to control the speed of testing from the tester’s graphics.

    This is convenient, first of all, in order not to use the speed in the terminal but to control the speed without fail from an adviser.

    I also added such useful features as PAUSE when testing.

    You have the opportunity to stop the adviser by clicking the Pause button.

    It also became possible to automatically stop the work of an expert when opening or closing a position.

    This allows you to analyze the actions of the adviser more accurately and make decisions in time.

    These options are turned off by default. You can turn them on by clicking on the appropriate checkboxes.


    Also, in the visualization mode, a block of current open positions has appeared.

    For MT4, this is undoubtedly a big plus because, in the tester, the MT4 does not show the table of current deals in the terminal.

    You have the opportunity to monitor the progress of testing and analyze current open deals.
