Strategy report output into a chart
This tool for MetaTrader 5 is specifically engineered to streamline your trading operations. This script functions as a utility program designed for specific, one-time execution tasks.

4. Removing: Scripts stop automatically, but you can remove them manually by right-clicking the chart and choosing "Remove Script."
Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why did my script stop? A: Scripts are designed to stop immediately after finishing their programmed command; this is normal behavior.
