I want to see text in screen in Visual Testing Mode

New comment
 
Hello Room,

Greetings to everybody ! May the pips be with you and Merry Christmas.

My problem is that I have devised certain variables the result of which is displayed on screen. These variables contain the end results of the formulas and functions from Meta Trader. I can see the result of variables when the chart is online. Now the main thing is that I want to see the same variables in screen in visual testing mode. How is that possible ???

Anybody Please help !!!

Regards,
 
You can add indicators to visual mode after you start it.

Apparently drawing in the EA is disabled, i guess for performance reasons.

Create an indicator that writes the data you want to see, is my thought.

I have tried creating new indicator in Metatrader and adding all my formulas to the indicator, and also attaching the indicator to the chart while running, but it is still not drawing the results on screen. It is not giving any errors also.

Please help.
 
It is nor quiet correctly. Run this simple EA in Visual Testing Mode and you will see that output comments and drawing is available.

Hello Sir,

I have tried your code in EA, I can see it in the online chart but not in visual testing mode. The smiling face is appearing on top right hand corner in both the cases i.e in online and visual testing mode, it means that the EA is active both in testing mode and online mode.

Anything missing ?? Please help.

Regards

Hello Room,

I am overwhelmed by the response and help you all are extending to me, I have seen the video, I have understood it, but the problem remains the same, I am not able to see it. There is some problem somewhere, I am using latest build of Metatrader 4.

Anybody, Please help me or suggest me if I need to do any settings in metatrader to do it.

Thank you once again for your valuable time extended to me.

Regards,
 
I don't see a problem...
