Hi,

does anyone have a sollution for reading keyboard entry on an EA in strategy tester?

I suggest you look into AutoHotKey:  autohotkey.com

I've used it with MT4 to create shortcut keys for highly used commands, such as:

; *************************************************************

; h      = create a new Horizontal line

#IfWinActive ahk_class MetaQuotes::MetaTrader::4.00

h::

   Send !i

   Sleep, 15

   Send l

   Sleep, 15

   Send h

return

; *************************************************************

; shift+e      = create a new Equidistant Channel

#IfWinActive ahk_class MetaQuotes::MetaTrader::4.00

+e::

   Send !i

   Sleep, 15

   Send c

   Sleep, 15

   Send e

return
