Different behavior in OnTradeTransaction with Strategy Tester and live demo account
Hello All,
In my EA I want to send an order and monitor its individual executions, if any. To do so I implemented the OnTradeTransaction() method to intercept each execution. However, I'm experiencing different behavior when running my code in the Strategy Tester and when running it as if in production, but using my demo account. With the Strategy Tester I'm able to capture traded volumes when looking to MqlTradeTransaction where state is equal to TRADE_TRANSACTION_ORDER_DELETE and order_state is equal to ORDER_STATE_FILLED or ORDER_STATE_PARTIAL. With the demo account volume is always zero. Bellow are some prints I did inside the OnTradeTrasaction method. The EA is not production ready yet, so I didn't try it with my real account. Is this behavior something expected? What should it be in production?

Hi Fábio,
I just stumbled upon the same issue and wonder if you know how to solve this?!
How can I test my EA when the trade transaction events do not occur in the tester?
Is there any solution for this?
Thx a lot
