strategy tester - can you force the blind mode?

[KjLNi]

Hello there, I am doing backtesting with mql5 programs.

I have found that the "visual mode" is always active, I cannot desactivate it, when I am in debugging mode of an expert.

This leads to the fact that it can be quite slow, until I get to where I want.

Question: is there a way to "force" the mode, so that the visual mode will not be on?

I am aware of the fact that there is a flag, but even if I take it out, for debugging it comes on automatically.

Thanks a lot in advance.

You need to uncheck the box (see the screen).

Before that you need to reset MT5 to default:

1. Start MT5 
2. File menu->Open Data Folder
3. Double click on "Config" to open the folder
4. Close MT5
5. Delete the file Terminal.ini

Should be fine then.

If by any chance you're backtesting under debugger, then you should note that the debugger/profiler settings in the MetaEditor can override the settings in the terminal. Specifically there is the option "Use visual mode for debugging on history".
