Range bars: installing ea on MT4

Hi fellow traders,

I am new to MT4 and trying to install a rangebar ea (attached). I followed instructions but time after time and retrying I still get the 'unhappy face' in the top right corner (printscreen attached). I can't get to find out what I am doing wrong. I am trying to install this on a demo account, if that makes a difference.

Also, I can't figure out the reason why I should take a second step and open an offline chart of the same pair. What it the purpose of an offline chart when you eventually want to try it in live version? Or after I get the happy face, how do I use the ea in a live chart at all?

These may be dumb questions for you seasoned traders but I thought I give it a go.

Thanks in advance for you attention and input, it is highly appreciated.

regards
BT

Aah... I missed that! Thanks a bunch! Do you have any experience with trading range bars? Should it be done on offline charts all the time? Offline suggests that the shown price is not 'live', but the price does seems to be updating ( I got it running). So I'm confused there.

I'm not sure, good luck!
