How do I add the desired indicator to the test visualisation window?
Can you tell me please:
How do I add an optional indicator to the test visualisation window?
There are two options:
via chart template "tester.tpl"
via a chart template with EA name "EA name.tpl"
Another option is to apply a template with any name via the menu

Right, right, through a template from the menu. Because I'm looking at the interface, and there are no familiar panels...
And now I will turn around!
Template. Thank you, thank you. You've really helped me out! :)
I practically use Fibo numbers as periods and parameters in all indicators.
The test runs only on the parameters declared by the programmer.
Or do you want TEST to choose for everyone what he wants?
Before asking a question, it's a good idea to think a little bit....
The test is only run according to the parameters laid down by the programmer.
Or do you want the TEST to select for each person exactly what they want?
It's a good idea to think a little bit before you ask a question....
Is that a question about what?
I didn't think it would be unclear from my question, where it says IN CODE, that I'm asking how to do it in code
And this design has thrown me off balance... )))
And you do programming?Can anyone explain what these colours mean? Optimising for max balance
I understand that the lighter the cell, the less balance, and vice versa.
But how to understand when one cell goes from white to black practically?
What do the grey cells mean?
Good afternoon, everyone!
A bit of background. I’ve been doing manual trading since 2016 and still do so to this day. I’ve realised just how exhausting it is. I decided to find a robot that would pass the back-testing on my forex broker’s MT5 platform. I found what I thought was such a robot, but I overlooked one crucial detail because I didn’t understand the finer points of configuring the back-tester. Yes, I’m that much of a daft one! I should have set it to ‘Every tick based on real ticks’, and then I’d have seen straight away that the robot was blowing through my deposit. Despite this, I went ahead and bought the robot anyway. The only comforting thing is that the price of the robot wasn’t a major issue for me, and I was prepared for a small loss on my live account. Once the robot started losing money on the live account, I stopped automated trading and set about carefully figuring out what the problem was. The first thing I found in the tester was the ‘Every tick based on real ticks’ mode, and the test immediately showed that trading with this robot was unprofitable. The second thing I did was to run an optimisation in ‘Every tick based on real ticks’ mode, which showed that the robot loses money regardless of the settings. I then began to vary the settings and closely monitor how the robot performed in “Visualisation” mode in step-by-step mode (the “Step by Step” button, F12).
After conducting a thorough analysis of the robot, I finally worked out the cause and realised that I only needed to tweak the stop-loss algorithm. I am now preparing the ‘Technical Specification’ to post it in the ‘Freelance’ section. However, before posting the job, I would like to ask for clarification on a few points:
1. What should I do if the robot’s author has not maintained their ‘products’ for a long time, does not visit the MQL5 website and there is no way to contact them? Is ‘Freelance’ the only option?
2. How do I go about having the robot modified by freelancers if I don’t have the source code?
3. Does the MQL5 team provide the robot’s source code to the freelancer with whom a contract for further development is to be concluded?
4. How can I obtain the source code for the modified robot for my own personal use, and how much will it cost?
I’m prepared to face criticism for my own mistakes before purchasing the robot and for asking naive questions, but I’d be most grateful for constructive replies.
Best regards to all, Vladimir.
