Strategy Tester with multiple indicators

New comment
 


Is it possible to use multiple indicators in the strategy tester?

I am testing an expert advisor where manual orders can be opened, I want to add another indicator that I have bought in the market during the test

If it is possible, how do I do it?

When testing an EA under the MT5's Strategy Tester in Visual mode, only the Indicators that have been called from within the EA will appear on the chart. This means that in order to add more indicators, you will have to add them to the EA's code in order for them to appear (there is a workaround, see below).

On MT4, this was not necessary as one could manually add indicators to the visual test chart very easily on the fly. Unfortunately, they removed that functionality in MT5.

There is however a work-around for MT5. You can pre-create a Template with all the indicators you wish to use, and then apply the Template to the chart during the Visual test.

 

hey there 
thank you for the guidance, unfortunately i am testing some mql5 code which is an expert but none of the indicators are showing? I don't if i have changed any settings any where.

is there any way to know how to get my indicators in the strategy tester? 

or are there any settings related to this problem?

if you have the source code then you can choose to show the indicators. If you do not have the source code, then, you can not force the indicators to show.

thanks for the fast reply, i was working with someone else's code and I'm kinda new to coding mql5. there is the function 

TesterHideIndicators(bool hide)

which was the problem. 
still I'm grateful for the response.🙏🙏🙏
