I have meta trader. I have been learning to trade for just a few months. I am trying to learn the strategy tester on it. Each time I use it this is the steps I follow.
I pick the indicator or EA.
Select Symbol
Select Model
I check use date and visual mode
I put the time period in
I make sure I do not check optimization
I check start.
When I do it this way, I think I have done it the correct way. I have even read the help file on it.
Maybe I am just plain stupid because I can not get it to work for me.
When I hit start the bar turns green a windows pops up with the chart I chose but when I check for report nothing is there but a long red bar and in the tester journal is always tells me "no data for testing".
Please explain to me what I am doing.
Thank you so much.
