backtesting in the MT5 is not working
First of all thank you for your great work. I have noticed, that expert advisor cannot be backtestet in MT5 strategy tester. The reason seems to be that strategy tester cannot communicate through sockets. Is there some workaround, am I missing something? I found a potential workaround, but it is for MT4, and at the time do not have the resources and knowledge to implement it - details in the link. Thank you!

The whole point of this advisor is to give external access to MetaTrader - not to run as a strategy... It is not a real expert advisor. See the python back-testing implementations that use this interface like https://github.com/khramkov/Backtrader-MQL5-API

Correct, access to the data and use the data to create strategies and send orders to your favourite broker API if they don't provide raw data
