If you had followed the links that @William Roeder provided in his post, and actually read their contents you would have seen how to work-around the problem and make it work in the Strategy Tester.

I read the articles, found a few others about this situation. I understand that the OnChartEvent has not been implemented, for the buttons I was only able to check their status by tick. But to use OnChartEvent(to handle mouse click) do I need to use by indicators and load the indicator in EA?
This is my doubt and I didn't find it in the articles or forum.![MQL5 - Language of trade strategies built-in the MetaTrader 5 client terminal](https://c.mql5.com/i/registerlandings/logo-2.png)

I need to load an indicator in Strategy Tester to handle mouse click events. How can I do this?
Or handle a click event without the direct indicator in the Strategy Tester, but from what I've researched, there's no way to do that.
