I just added a new block called "Prompt". Somewhere at the bottom in the list.

Ok tested. It works but is limited beacuse the popup dialog box is not bound with the chart. Is a standard windows dialog box.
I was looking for a dialog box that should be built in the chart area. In this way you can have a dialog box for each chart something like the buttons displayed with "OrderInfoSample" Script present in the standard MT5 list.I guess this is a new feature but in this moment I am more focused in tools helping me trading, more than fully automated EA buttons on chart will be a great ad on. Maybe an "onpressbutton" event, or a specific set of blocks giving the opportunity to draw button and associate specific action. I do not know, just brainstorming, but I know you gor the idea behind it

It is, it stops the EA until you click on any button. This is the MessageBox() function, and there is maybe one more function that can stop the EA for a while - Sleep().

Sorry, i did not fully understand your answer. Have a look at the buttons that appears on the script I mentioned and you will see that is different things. In the first case the button ar chart objects, not windows dialog boxes

Well, but it does what it is designed to do - it stops the EA and waits for manual reaction. In MT4 is that way, with Windows prompt, I don't know why this option is missing in MT5.
And those buttons... they are not prompts
And does not appear right in front of your eyes. Buy why you will want to manually confirm position, if not only for testing something, which is otherwise not a problem in demo account

On the other side I am trying to program an expert advisor supporting me in making calculation regarding sl, tp, money management and basic signal verification I want to review to proposed trade and only lunch it after that i have made other extra checks. I am not in the stage that I want full automated ea. The dialog box as programmed in this moment does not provide to me the flexibility I am looking for.

Then this is not possible at the moment in fxDreema. Those buttons and other exotic stuff are something that I need to do, but I don't know when or if

Ok, its a pitty, but I understand. There is not a perfect tool unfortunately
