Have you ever experimented with mt4gui.dll and mt4gui2.dll ?
That makes the buttons work, but it is not stable.
Some bugs I can workaround.
But, in situation when EA is on chart and I change timeframe, it crashes MT4.
I can not work this around other that remove the EA from chart.

Sorry, nope, would never risk using something like that in any of my EAs.
So, how to get a reliable solution for buttons on EA?

Most of the EAs I have written or plan to write are autonomous trading robots that need no user intervention...
And they, actually make profit???
Sorry, but I just do not believe in automated robot trading!
Not any and, probably, not ever!
EA assisted trading - YES!

Nope, not profitable, but that is not the fault of the EA it is a fault of the method.
I don't work on belief, if I want to know if something works or not I test it.

I understand you fully.
I say I do not believe, but I know that no computer program can see into the future,
or even think like the human mind does. All you can do is write conditions under which
the program must open and close orders. For that you use all sorts of indicators,
but they only show some avarage of what was in the past!
Then come the limitations of the human mind.
I was writing one EA to open trades at very specific conditions.
Then, backtesting it and finding new conditions.
Then, backtesting and still finding new conditions... and again... and again...
Finally, I was able to eliminate all SLs for the given test timeframe.
And then the results were awesome! From $1000,- to almost $600 000,- in 6 weeks !!!!!!!!!
No SLs at all, obviously.
But, then, real time is different from backtesting.
In order to know that an AutoRobot is successful, it must be tested in real time, and
I would say, for at least 2 years. That is a lot of trading time wasted!
Personally, I would only buy a RobotTrader only if the author gave me
a 100% money back guarantee, not only for the price I pay him, but for all the loss the
Robot generates, as well! On the other hand, I would be happy to share the profit!
Yeah, but keep trying! After all, that is what development is all about!
The only way that works for the humans, and it has been proven over ages,
is the way of the middle!
One time someone did this experiment and got a monkey to trade the market.
The monkey did better than the pros!

I don't use Technical Indicators, never have.
As for back testing vs forward testing, in essence they are the same (ignoring the Strategy Tester limitations) just that forward testing is much slower. Neither forward testing nor back testing is a guarantee of what will happen in the future, a forward test is just a slow back test by the time it has finished.
I don't use Technical Indicators, never have.
Then, what are your conditions for opening orders?
