Any instructions about the On Trade & On Chart tabs?

[Xtacado]

I was wondering if anyone knows the functionality of the other tabs besides the Tick tab? I assume there's no to little difference but what is the point except for those little few other options in each?

For all i know the extra "On Trade" tab has the same parameters as the Ticks tabs options.

I did read in documentation there are some flaws with the Time tabs and settings. But any other than that i find little to nothing about the rest.

I'm also new to this and want to give it a try building an EA according to how I trade manually

Event driven. e.g. On Trade -> The blocks under the tab are triggered to run when there is trade open / close , etc

The tabs tells you what they do, on init = at EA start (initialisation), on timer = only when the timer event fired (change this in settings), on trade (non mt4 native, so internally goes in on tick) = work with running trades, on chart = many things you see on chart, trades on mt4 are fired from here (in backtest use on tick), on deinit = all actions when removing/stopping EA working (like deleting everything drawn on the chart).

@sktsec yeah I get that it is a event but I also notice there's similar functions outside the on trade tab aswel. I don't know if it is different if you use mlq4 or 5, but I notice using 5 using different tabs don't matter that much.
Also for big projects it is usefull to separate trees and functions but any other than that.
