Applied price in the visual tester

[Petr Nosek]

I have programmed my own indicator, whose values are calculated from the price[] buffer.

The indicator code contains the line:

#property indicator_applied_price   PRICE_MEDIAN

When I insert the indicator into the chart, I can select the desired applied price on the Parameters tab, based on which the indicator is calculated.

However, if I want to test the behavior of the indicator in the visual tester, I have not found a way to set this applied price, and the indicator is calculated using the close price, even though the default is the median price.

Is it possible to set the applied price in the visual tester?

And one more additional question that does not concern the visual tester.

Is it possible to use code to find out what the selected applied price is?

The answer for the first question is no (this is a flaw in MQL5/MT5 implementation). For the second try _AppliedTo.

The answers for both questions is no. These are the flaws in the MQL5/MT5 implementation for years. Asked on the forum, but did not get neither response from MQ nor a fix.

Thanks for your reply. I thought so, but I wasn't sure.

Please, read the edited version of my reply. It was not completely correct from the beginning (there are other problems with #property indicator_applied_price, which I mixed up with your difficulties).

You're reading (and quoting text) tooooo fast. ;-)

Good thing you're not a girl. I wouldn't want to be tooooo fast for her :D

Thanks for the hint, _AppliedTo seems to work exactly as I wanted.
