Hi,

Testing manual strategies on historical data is not supported out of the box. But you can use Visual Backtesting for this. cBot can use user inputs to open/close positions or place pending orders.

cBot can get user input from UI controls created in another window as in product Ahmad suggested. Or use some built-in cTrader events.

For now, cTrader support mouse events on the chart so you can create a cBot with trading commands using the mouse clicks. Below is an example of a cBot that uses
Shift + Left Mouse Button to open a buy position.
Ctrl + LMB to open a sell position.
Alt + LMB to close all positions.

[Parameter(DefaultValue = 0.1)]
public double Lots { get; set; }

[Parameter("StopLoss (pips)", DefaultValue = 20)]
public double StopLossPips { get; set; }

[Parameter("StopLoss (pips)", DefaultValue = 20)]
public double TakeProfitPips { get; set; }

protected override void OnStart()
{
    var instructionsText = "Shift + LMB = Buy\nCtrl + LMB = Sell\nAlt + LMB = Close All";
    Chart.DrawStaticText("instructions", instructionsText, VerticalAlignment.Top, HorizontalAlignment.Left, Chart.ColorSettings.ForegroundColor);
    Chart.MouseDown += OnChartMouseDown;
}

private void OnChartMouseDown(ChartMouseEventArgs obj)
{
    if (obj.ShiftKey && !obj.CtrlKey && !obj.AltKey)
        ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, Lots * Symbol.LotSize, "MouseTrading", StopLossPips, TakeProfitPips);
    else if (!obj.ShiftKey && obj.CtrlKey && !obj.AltKey)
        ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, Lots * Symbol.LotSize, "MouseTrading", StopLossPips, TakeProfitPips);
    else if (!obj.ShiftKey && !obj.CtrlKey && obj.AltKey)
        Positions.ToList().ForEach(p => ClosePositionAsync(p));
}

In cTrader version 3.6 we will add a new feature called Chart Controls. Developers will be able to add UI elements on a chart like text labels, buttons, input fields, etc.
This version will be released to Spotware Public Beta in a couple of weeks. 

Using these UI controls it will be possible to create trading panels that will work in Visual Backtesting:
