That's my EA, it compile, it has no error but it shows nothing 

It is not doing the simulation

it run the simulation, it shows the number os bars used, but it seems like it didnt executed any order

  1. Please usr the code formate (</> from editor's headline here or Alt+S).
  2. Use the Debugger (Editor => Debug => hist. Data) and check all your ifs and values of your variables - it is made for this.

  1. Please edit your (original) post and use the CODE button (Alt-S)! (For large amounts of code, attach it.)

  2. Check your return codes, and report your errors (including market prices and your variables). Don't look at GLE/LE unless you have an error. Don't just silence the compiler (MT5/MT4+strict), it is trying to help you.

  3. Use the debugger or print out your variables, including _LastError and prices and find out why. Do you really expect us to debug your code for you?

  4.     trade.Buy(0.1,_Symbol, Ask, Ask-20*_Point, Ask+60*_Point, NULL);
    ⋮
    trade.Sell(0.1,_Symbol, Bid, Bid+20*_Point, Bid-60*_Point, NULL);

    You buy at the Ask and sell at the Bid. Pending Buy Stop orders become market orders when hit and open at the Ask.

    1. Your buy order's TP/SL (or Sell Stop's/Sell Limit's entry) are triggered when the Bid / OrderClosePrice reaches it. Using Ask±n, makes your SL shorter and your TP longer, by the spread. Don't you want the specified amount used in either direction?

    2. Your sell order's TP/SL (or Buy Stop's/Buy Limit's entry) will be triggered when the Ask / OrderClosePrice reaches it. To trigger close to a specific Bid price, add the average spread.

    3. The charts show Bid prices only. Turn on the Ask line to see how big the spread is (Tools → Options (control+O) → charts → Show ask line.)
      Most brokers with variable spreads widen considerably at end of day (5 PM ET) ± 30 minutes. My GBPJPY shows average spread = 26 points, but average maximum spread = 134 (your broker will be similar).
