Yeah, i have read all of that, but that doesn't explain anything about the automated stuff, nothing that comes up in the search on how to set that up, at least nothing that i could find.

Hi @Dave! Sorry for not understanding your question the first time. At the moment, we don’t have a dedicated tutorial specifically for the automation feature in Forex Tester Online.
The first way to set up automation is to create your own automated strategy using our API documentation. This can even be done without coding skills by using an AI-powered tool called Cursor. You can find detailed instructions in our documentation here: https://fto-2.gitbook.io/fto-strategies-docs
Also, on this page — https://forextester.com/en/#features — under the Automations tab, you can watch a short video showing how automation can work.
In addition, automation can be configured directly inside the FTO window (screenshot attached).
The principle is simple — use drag-and-drop rule blocks to select a condition and an action that will be executed when the condition is met. Currently, order opening is not yet available in this section, but we are planning to add this functionality soon.
