So over a weekend when the Forex market is closed, I can't run my code. Surely there must be some way to simulate a tick input (with psuedo Bid and Ask values), so that one can actually run one's code.

Anyone that writes their own EA will have this problem. I really hope there is someone out there who has solved it and can enlighten me.

Thanks guys (in anticipation)

Hmm. Why can't you try tester in MT4? Press Ctrl+R, choose your EA in list, choose preferable pair and timeframe and check "visual mode" box to look what EA is doing on chart. That's all, start it.
