Tester run step by step.

[kiwi789]

An example:

At a signal, EA trades with S.L. and T.P.
Along the way (by live trading) you can change S.L. and T.P. if you think there is a need for it. (Just move them on the screen).

During the test process, you can not do that.

Does anyone know a method (In MT4 or another test program) where the test moves step by step. (Eg new candle every time you press Enter or F12) and you can change settings along the way.

Same as running EA on a demo account for a week, just with "old" data, and faster.

Yours sincerely
Kim Wiboe.

@kiwi789 Hello,

There is a way. If you are aware of virtual stops, what they do is instead of placing an SL and TP, they replace them with lines drawn by the EA to hide the stop levels from your broker. And as they are OBJECT lines, whether live or backtesting, just double click on the line and when selected you will be able to move it.

@q8carpenter Excellent explanation q8carpenter! This thread should be a sticky tutorial IMHO.
