Alexey Viktorov:

Peace, friendship, chewing gum.

There's no other way!

Here's a question:

there is a structure MqlTick in it has a parameter time_msc, how can it be converted to date/time, if there are such possibilities?

Is it possible to use a panel or other controls in visual EA testing mode? If so, how can this be done?

In mt5 half of the tester's capabilities are technically limited, for example the input field does not work, i.e. you cannot change the lot, lines cannot move. Only buttons work. Everything works in mt4, but it is not interesting.

I have never been interested in this kind of mechanism. Thank you. I would like to be able to place orders at least. Please send me a link to an article on this subject (MT5).

Thank you. I should at least be able to place orders. Please throw me a link to an article on this topic (MT5).

Unfortunately I haven't come across the article, maybe someone else can tell me.

You will not be able to place orders because you will not be able to enter the required setting price. The same applies to lots

You won't be able to set orders because you won't be able to enter the right setting price. The same applies to lots.

What about "by market" orders? Is it possible to set table-loss and take-profit without specifying them in the form but calculating them as a percentage of APR, for example? The percentage is set in the code, not on the form. The form only contains buttons "Set BUY and SELL order".

Yes, we can do that. Once again: only buttons work (press/push)
