Ohh that makes a lot of sense now. should this be done on the on tick tab or on chart tab?

@l-andorrà This is what i tried to do. still not sure if it works given the complex back testing system of mt5.
https://fxdreema.com/shared/PzGwfCuOb . its is a simple buy now EA with the on/off button.

@jstap you are absolutely right about mt5. the button I created using a tutorial does not work on back test but works when the robot is deployed. I will equally try on mt4 to confirm.

@l-andorrà no no i am not. I tried creating one using this tutorial:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pijVy93UoDw&t=356s but it does not work.

Hello guys i need help. How can I create a pause button for my EA. I want to run it on many currency pairs(charts). I want to be able to pause the EA on one chart without interrupting the others. the auto trade button on mt5 disables all EAs at once.

Actually i figured out that you have to actually create the buy/sell sign objects on chart using the draw object function before you can effectively count them. When trying to count those created by mt5, the EA doesn't see them.

@l-andorrà Thanks very much!!! Sorry I mistakenly posted twice. I am still getting used to the platform

Hello guys please i want to be able to count buy and sell arrow objects that are created on chart when buys and sells are executed. i want to count these objects as orders are being created and store the number in a variable.

in the example above i want the variable to store the value 4 because there are 4 buy/sell arrow objects. Any help please?

the buys and sells can be counted separately.
