Technically how? In the program itself... You mean on the story.
Hi, can you tell me how to mark entry/exit points and stops on the chart in MT5 using graphical labels, to test the obtained result?
On what history? History is the past. And the strategy tester does not look into the future, i.e. it cannot place any marks in the future without a time machine - there are no quotes there yet. All we can do in the future is to set pending orders.
I do not need to explain why in the future, I mean in mt5 I put markers on a chart for an instrument during the last (for example, 3 months) where I opened and closed positions.
Now I understand what you wanted to say, but you explained it only in the third post.
But now I do not quite understand, why do you need to calculate the deals that you have already opened and closed in the tester? After all, if you really opened and closed deals on any account, look at the tab "History" in the terminal. You will see all the statistics, sorting, filters and other tricks (Excel has a rest).
If you want to check the symbol's position in the chart for the last (for example, 3 months) I put markers where I opened and closed positions. The program may calculate the result and output statistics using these markers, not to manually enter each deal into Excel.
Theoretically: the marks have been placed. Attach an EA to the chart. This Expert Advisor scans the chart for markers and writes the direction of the marker (buy OR sell) and the time of the marker in the file. The second Expert Advisor will be run in the Strategy Tester. The second EA reads from the file and compares times in the tester; as soon as the time is almost equal, a pending order is placed.
This is the way it is.

No advisor, is it technically possible for mt5 to scan the marks on the chart for the last say 3 months and give the result of the trade? if it is possible, how can it be done "which buttons to press"?
By yourself, by yourself. To write an EA by hand.
