I want to see text in screen in Visual Testing Mode

You can add indicators to visual mode after you start it.

Apparently drawing in the EA is disabled, i guess for performance reasons.

Create an indicator that writes the data you want to see, is my thought.

This is a mystery Why cant I see backtesting strategy

I have tried creating new indicator in Metatrader and adding all my formulas to the indicator, and also attaching the indicator to the chart while running, but it is still not drawing the results on screen. It is not giving any errors also.

Please help.

It is nor quiet correctly. Run this simple EA in Visual Testing Mode and you will see that output comments and drawing is available.

Hello Sir,

I have tried your code in EA, I can see it in the online chart but not in visual testing mode. The smiling face is appearing on top right hand corner in both the cases i.e in online and visual testing mode, it means that the EA is active both in testing mode and online mode.

Anything missing ?? Please help.

Regards
