Problems back-testing my bot
You probably did not calculate the SL/TP values correctly so the price never reached those levels.
My bot works with visual testing.
Just not with optimization.
Anyway, for buying this is my calculation:
Bid = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_BID); // Current Bid price.
Ask = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_ASK); // Current Ask price.
TP = Ask + (TakeProfit_inPips * _Point);
SL = Bid - (StopLoss_inPips * _Point);
For selling:
TP = Bid - (TakeProfit_inPips * _Point);
SL = Ask + (StopLoss_inPips * _Point);
Pip is not the same as point. Without knowing the values no one can say exactly what is going on.
How would you suggest changing it?
Spend some time to learn about Pip, Point and Digits. Then check the Digits value of the symbol you want to trade and use it to calculate the right SL/TP value.

Hello,
I wrote a simple bot with MQL5.
It only has 2 input parameters (SL and TP distance)
When I run strategy tester I get no results. It just shows as if it's working forever.
Any other bot I'm testing has no problems.
Do I need to do something special for my bot to work with strategy testing?
