Manual Backtesting with On-Chart Buttons in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester

A while back, I looked for a way to backtest ideas manually to see whether they made sense and which filters could improve accuracy. This was before I knew MQL5, and I was participating in competitions that encouraged gambling rather than trading. You know them, the ones that are free to enter, change rules from time to time and the first person has tripled their account within a day…..those ones.

Great implementation! On-chart buttons for manual backtesting are so handy. Especially useful for validating ideas before optimization.
