"Strategy Tester", stoploss, takeprofit. How to assign values

New comment
 

Please help me understand

I use mql5 :)

How should I do to make the stoploss values and takeprofit of my EA are used in the "Strategy Tester"
No matter the values that exist in my text "ea.ml5". They will be ignored.
Whenever I run the "Strategy Tester" values used are always those who are on the "Inputs"

What should I do so that the "Strategy Tester" always use the values stated in my "ea.mq5"?

Thanks in advance

 
as I don't know whether you have mt4 or mt5 and I don't know much about mt5 please find here anything you need I  guess!

Thanks for your time, but I also already searched this page but did not find documentation on this subject.

I have done numerous tests and find no solution.

Please, anyone have this problem?
How you guys use the SL and TP with the "Strategy Tester"?

Please show your code if you need coding help.

Typically the SL and TP values are specified as input to an EA as a guideline for your EA.  Meaning, when you open your position you specify those values to the current Bid or Ask (depending if short or long).  So for example, if you specify a SL of 50 pips and a TP of 100 pips you would so something like this (or similar)

if(Type == LONG_POSITION) Price = Ask; else Price = Bid;
TP = (Type == LONG_POSITION ? Price + TakeProfit : Price - TakeProfit);
HardStop = (Type == LONG_POSITION ? Price - StopLoss : Price + StopLoss);
Result = OrderSend(NULL, (Type == LONG_POSITION ? OP_BUY : OP_SELL), Lots, Price, 0, HardStop, TP, CommentMsg, MagicNumber, NULL, NULL);

This code has been done to illustrate the problem with the "Strategy Tester".
Please do not criticize the utility.
Just look at if you makes alterations in TKP and STL values, you will see that there will be no change in the result.

Only there will be changes in the results if you make changes in the "Input" tab of the "Strategy Tester"

I look for a solution to the "Strategy Tester" obey the parameters placed in the code
The first time you run the code, the STL and TKP values are OK.
The problem arises after making any changes in the values of StopLoss and TakeProfit variables
