Are object events possible (button press) in the EA strategy tester (visual tester)?
I'm seeing that events from OnChartEvent seem to work in the Indicator strategy tester , but it doesn't seem to be the case in the EA strategy tester. The events from an EA code script are working correctly on a chart, but not inside the strategy tester in visual mode. The goal is to simulate manual
Preventing unreasonable losses in an EA
I don't know if I'm the only one who came to think that making a successful autonomous expert advisor is like playing a tedious chess game against the market. Some people may say that it is impossible longterm, however it will also depend on how positions are managed. The way I see it, a manual
Gmails tightened security preventing SendMail from working
I recall in the past the SendMail function working seamlessly with gmail, but now it doesn't any longer. I created an external app password at http://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords but using this password in the SMTP password field (at Tools - Options - Email) made no difference and gave the

Is it not possible to have direct control of the entry price when automating buy or sell trades?

I'm very close to abandoning a practice conversion
I set out to do a practice conversion to convert a more tedious MQL4 indicator to MQL5. This wasn't for anything other than practice, and because I'm focusing on MT5 now. I thought, maybe I can do it in 30 minutes... but no, this wasn't the case at all. I have tried numerous times to convert it
Experiencing an issue with objects when two separate window indicators are on the same chart
I wanted to create a text object to measure the "power" on the last histogram bar for the bears power and bulls power indicators. It seems that there are no issues with the placement of the text object if I load one single indicator on the chart (either bulls or bears). Chart with only bears
Is it possible to emulate one EA inside another EA script?
Let's say you like the performance of an EA over a certain period, but you are unwilling to use it because of the fact that it lacks any risk management features. In this case you could code another EA which applies the desired risk management and have both running on separate charts. But you are
