running two EA at the same time mt5 problem

New comment
 

hello every one,

i wrote two EAs . one of them is for backtesting on MT5 which can send BUY or SELL ( using GUI for this purpose ) and the other one colored candles ( it colored big candles red and green which used oncalculate function)

i want to run both of them at the same time and i know that i should write them in one EA.

but the problem is that, when i wrote them in one EA, it didn't work at all because of oncalculate function.

Could anyone kindly provide guidance or suggest a solution to this issue?

Thank you very much for your assistance.

 
If it uses OnCalculate, it is a indicator, not an EA

GUIs do not work in the tester. Mouse clicks (events) do not work in the tester.
