Get x and y coordinates in strategy tester - visual mode
I've never had reason to do this in the tester, but I suppose that you could use say an arrow object.
Check in OnTick() to see if the object is selected. If it is set a static bool to true.
Move the object anchor point with the mouse and de-select it.
Every tick, if the bool is true, check to see is it is now de-selected
in which case, set the bool to false and get the time/price co-ordinates of the object anchor and then the x/y co-ordinates.

Thank you William

Hi guys,
need to get x and y coordinates of the chart in visual mode. Is there any way to do this?
I use ChartXYToTimePrice() in real mode and I call this function in OnChartEvent to get X and Y coordinates by click on chart.
But OnChartEvent() is not working in strategy tester - visual mode .
