Should work just as you've stated.

I'm confused. Are you trying to manually place trades or are you letting the expert place all of them for you?

If you are not getting automated orders, it could be a problem with your expert advisor. Perhaps posting your OrderSend() code or the entire EA might help

Put a check mark in the "Visual mode" box in strategy tester

Visual just give you a visual chart. Speed is controlled by slider next to it and the pause button.

all right, so how do I want to place an order by hand in the Strategy Tester

[Sean McGuinness]

banbebinh, I too would like to know how this is accomplished.

In Strategy Tester, I start the chart scrolling and then try to place an order manually so that I can see how my trailing stop EA works. The only thing that happens when I push the Buy or Sell button is a notice saying, "Off quotes".

Does anyone know how to place a manual order in the MT4 Strategy Tester?

Thank you.

Strategy tester is not meant for manual order placement, it's for testing EAs. What you're looking for is forward testing. Google it. Also google Vhands and check this.

I haven't tested the program that's in the link, but if it does what it's said to be doing, then it's what you're looking for.
