MT4 Backtesting - but selectively

Hi, I have a manual strategy.

So my EA does not automatically trade. I analyze the conditions and may decide to skip several trades.

How can I backtest it in MT4? So that it only analyzes the trades that I ok.

Something like a pop up saying take this trade or not.

Hi, how do you know which transaction will be profitable or not?

You have a manual strategy and EA? If it’s manual, you could use mt4 Vhands to practice

Thank you @JCad

@ProfesorPips I dont know which one is profitable. But I know which trade do I want to take.

To clarify my question -

I have an EA to alert me when my technical conditions are met. Many times the setup is bogus, because the indicators may keep signaling in a consolidation also.

So I want to backtest my strategy and while the conditions are met, I want to be able to say, skip this trade, and take this trade. etc.

Sorry if this is confusing.

Hi, you can adding new conditions and filter consolidation. Regards Greg
