For years, we have dedicated ourselves to developing scripts and programs, constantly honing our skills and pushing our products toward perfection. We’ve focused on enhancing every feature, making sure they perform at their best.
However, we realized something crucial along the way: we overlooked the importance of the information our programs provide.
A plain black terminal, green bars, and a running price—does that really keep you fully informed? While it may suffice for basic analysis or open news sources, it falls short when it comes to your Expert Advisor, which works silently in the background, leaving you unaware of what’s truly happening “under the hood.”
But not for an expert who “quietly” is working on your account and not giving you an idea of what’s in his “soul.”
The hidden algorithm of an Expert Advisor is one of the most critical aspects for a programmer.
It serves as the core rule that drives the system’s performance.
However, when you order a custom script, it’s a different scenario.
You gain full control over the logic—you can see it, modify it, and adapt it to your specific needs.
A custom Expert Advisor is tailored precisely to fulfill your unique requirements, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your strategy.
From now on, with our Expert Advisors, you’ll have full visibility of all the vital information about their performance—right on the chart.
Why settle for a plain black screen with green bars? Take control of the information and stay informed every step of the way!
Blocks
The dashboard for the expert is a block on the chart where the Advisor is installed, which contains information about our Expert Advisor(EA).
Information Blocks in EA Pad PRO:
Version, License, and Account Status: Displays the EA’s current version, license details, and its readiness to function on the current trading account.
Extra Buttons: Includes emergency management buttons for quick control of the Advisor, allowing you to take immediate action when needed.

Features of the Expert Advisor (EA) Panel
Universal Block System: The core blocks of the Expert Advisor are common across all our experts, ensuring they function consistently, using the specific Magic Number and Symbol they were set up with.
Custom External Parameters: While the main structure is shared, each EA has its own unique set of external and strategy parameters. These blocks are programmed individually to suit the specific needs of each expert.
Efficient Visualization: In the strategy tester, during Visualization mode, our EA Pad PRO updates every 10 seconds to save time. When testing without visualization or optimizing the Expert Advisor, the panel automatically turns off.
Customizable Panel: You can adjust the font size and the panel’s dimensions directly on the chart. The size of the panel automatically adapts to the selected font size.
Maximized Information Display: The dashboard takes up a significant portion of the chart to display all relevant information, reducing the need for a black screen while the EA is working. Despite this, half of the chart remains free for your actions.
Panel Control:
Minimize the Panel: Click the icon to minimize the panel.

Testing Speed and Pause, Current Open Positions Table
In the mode of visualization and testing of our advisors, it is possible to control the speed of testing from the tester’s graphics.
This is convenient, first of all, in order not to use the speed in the terminal but to control the speed without fail from an adviser.
I also added such useful features as PAUSE when testing.
You have the opportunity to stop the adviser by clicking the Pause button.
It also became possible to automatically stop the work of an expert when opening or closing a position.
This allows you to analyze the actions of the adviser more accurately and make decisions in time.

Also, in the visualization mode, a block of current open positions has appeared.

Help in EAPADPRO
You can read the quick guide and find links to full instructions for using our Expert Advisor. Also, read HELP about our panel. You can look at our other products and copy the links!
Effect of EAPADPRO on the speed of the advisor algorithm.
We specifically tested our panel in extreme conditions, as well as in the strategy tester!
If you have any questions about:
Does the Expert Advisor work if the panel is enabled?
Answer :
Working! Drawing the panel does not affect the working algorithm of the Expert Advisor.
For example, we took our high-speed scalper Exp-TickSniper PRO FULL. This Advisor works on the speed of ticks, so its performance is indicative of evaluating the performance of our panel:
-Improvement: Code optimization to increase speed. -Improvement: The speed of the panel update in the strategy tester is now calculated automatically depending on the speed of quotes arrival. This is done to increase the speed of the program in the strategy tester. Information update is now equal to 1 real second. -Improvement: The speed of the program running EAPADPRO in the strategy tester. Attention! Events in the strategy tester are processed only when a new tick is created. If a new tick (minimum price movement) is not created, then the panel waits for the next tick.
with Visualization: Version 48: 390sec (TickSniper 2024-2024) Version 55: 244sec >>159% (TickSniper 2024-2024) w/o Visualization: Version 48: 363sec (TickSniper 2020-2024) Version 55: 220sec >>165% (TickSniper 2020-2024) with Visualization: Version 48: 15750sec (TickSniper 2020-2024) Version 55: 6220sec >>253% (TickSniper 2020-2024)
Why are there different results when visually testing and standard testing?
When visually testing indicators are calculated at each tick.
And with standard testing, some ticks are ignored!
This information panel is designed to help each user of our advisors get the latest information on the current expert, Symbol, and account.
Thank you.

Does the Expert Advisor work if the panel is enabled?
Working! Drawing the panel does not affect the working algorithm of the Expert Advisor.
For example, we took our high-speed scalper Exp-TickSniper PRO FULL. This advisor works on the speed of ticks, so its performance is indicative for evaluating the performance of our panel:
Why are there different results when visually testing and standard testing?
When visually testing indicators are calculated at each tick.
And with standard testing, some ticks are ignored!
In the Strategy Tester, indicators are only calculated when their data are accessed, i.e., when the values of indicator buffers are requested.
This provides significantly faster testing and optimization speed if you do not need to obtain indicator values on each tick.
By specifying the tester_everytick_calculate property, you can enable the forced calculation of the indicator on every tick.
Indicators in the Strategy Tester are also forcibly calculated on every tick in the following cases:
when testing in the visual mode;
if the indicator has any of the following functions: EventChartCustom, OnChartEvent, OnTimer;
if the indicator was created using the compiler with a build number below 1916.
This feature only applies in the Strategy Tester, while in the terminal, indicators.
