OBJ_BUTTON does not work on the Strategy Tester?

[marcelo marques pereira]

Hi Guys!

I just coded a "Buy button" in my EA using the feature "OBJ_BUTTON"

ObjectCreate(0,aux_Button_name,OBJ_BUTTON,0,xposition,yposition);

and put it into the "OnChartEvent"  for when I click on it, the EA issues an order.. It works on Demo/Live ,  however when I run it over the Strategy Tester it remains pressed and and does not issue any order..

Does anyone know how to make it works  with the Strategy Tester?

 

Many thanks

A workaround I have used in the past is to check the button state each tick:

ObjectGetInteger(0,aux_Button_name,OBJPROP_STATE)

 If it is true, run what ever you need then reset the button state to false using:

ObjectSetInteger(0,aux_Button_name,OBJPROP_STATE,false);

 

You can use IsVisualMode() to avoid unnecessary processing under normal operation.
