I was just suggesting

a contest for the best manual trade tester.
 
TheXpert:

I was suggesting

to hold a contest for the best manual trading tester.

The best implementation of a manual trading tester is a virtual quotation server, it has already been discussed and rejected,

everything else is a weak semblance of a left hand :(, no matter how well it is implemented, there will still be a barrage of criticism.

 
Urain:

If there's no manual testing at all, there has to be something. Don't we?

Urain: there will still be a barrage of criticism.

And even with a barrage of criticism, there will always be those who will use it.

I will not take up such a project for the second time, MQL5 is not adapted for system programming.

You will have to constantly fight with optimisations from MQ, for applied tasks it is a necessary thing, but for solving system tasks it is a complete failure.

Don't forget that the main task of MetaTrader is to quickly process new incoming data (all optimisations of MQL5 functions are aimed at this task), and this fundamentally contradicts the task of history modelling.

ZY My verdict: it will turn out to be crooked, not usable and far from the real world (well, very far). If they would bring the possibilities of visual testing at least to the MT4 tester, then we can still fight.

We will be happy to hold new contests - please suggest your variants.

Best MQL5 Code Generator" contest

 
The best generator is not a contest, but a huge project that in reality may require a year of work.

You need to choose the contest task wisely, both in terms of complexity and timing.
