Showing Trades on Custom Symbol

[oneflewoverthecuckoosnest]

Hello Team,

I'm looking to find out about whether or not it possible to show Opened Trades/Closed Trades on a Custom Symbol.

I have, for instance, coded a (rather ugly) means of extracting the Real Tradeable symbol from Custom Charts made with a Renko Utility:

   tradeSymbol = (_Symbol);
   string sep="_";
   ushort u_sep;
   string result[];
   u_sep=StringGetCharacter(sep,0);
   int k=StringSplit(tradeSymbol,u_sep,result);
   tradeSymbol=result[0];

This allows the EA to perform technical analysis on the Renko Chart (EURUSD_3PIPS) but trade on the Tradeable Symbol (EURUSD) using string tradeSymbol.

However, when backtesting, and running the EA, the trades are not shown on the Custom Symbol (EURUSD_3PIPS). This makes analysing the effectiveness of the trade logic challenging - I need to look at Trade times in the journal, then find the corresponding renko bar, and cross reference this with the Real tradeable symbol.

Is there a way to reflect on the CUSTOM SYMBOL the trades that have been placed on the Tradeable symbol? My only real requirement is the "In" point and "out" point - like in the attached image of a Standard Trading Symbol

A couple o fdays ago, i also experienced a problem with the view of the trades after a test on a custom symbol (not missing, but mEssing, meaning the signs where anywhere in the charts, but not where price was ;)

But a couple of hours ago there was a new MT5-update, just runned a quick single test, and arrows as well as lines seem to be OK now (but i didn't compare them with the times and prices from the deals-list).

So it might be worth a new try.

But i've just seen that i still have another problem with the Tester and Custom Symbols:

In the "Backtest"-tab are no results considered, as if there were no trades opened (see screenshot 1). But the arrows and lines in the chart seem to be OK, as well as the bunch of logged deals in the "Jounal"-tab, here an example of one position with partial close:

BUT what i can't believe, is the 100% winrate (but it recognizes 2380 trades in the OnTester):

2022.01.16 22:19:37.586 Core 01 2020.12.30 23:59:59   Winrate: 100.00 (wins: 2380, losses: 0)

2022.01.16 22:19:37.586 Core 01 OnTester result 100

But everything works fine with the provider's data, as the 2nd screenshots show.
