I wonder if strategy tester works.
My EA makes trades in real time but does nothing in strategy tester.
Also, there is no Experts tab in it just Journal, impossible to track
EA activities.
Maybe I am outdated or need to change something.
I did not see an example of how to make trailing stop.
Logically try to do myself.
if(condition...)
{
TradeRequest.sl=tick.bid-_Point*TS;
OrderSend(TradeRequest,TradeResult);
}
And it does not trail.
Please help. Thank you.
