I think it has nothing to do with visual backtest. Close the terminal tab ( ctrl +t )

I'm testing my code day by day ... and I have an "if statement" in my code to check the history tab with HistoryDealsTotal().

But, not so important .. just wanted to know if there's a way.

Thank you ...

Then the answer is—no! Any back-test needs to start with an initial balance.

Also, you can simulate withdrawals via the MQL5 code too, so I would suggest modifying your EA code to be able handle these situations.
