How to run strategy tester?

I'm no sure do I do things correctly.
I open EA, press start, green bar appears, and after all reslults show not a single trade, grap shows nothing and stats says there was no trade taken.

What's wrong? Is it something with settings or what?
Maybe I should wait longer for results to apeare...

For example I use EA from here:

And I attach what my platform looks like

Thanks for all help

Who says that this EA will open orders based on signals?

It was said in post hwere I downloanded EA. However same happens with any EA I tried to backtest.

If this may be the reason, can someone direct me where can I find EA that opens trades..?

This EA is a trade management EA. That means it doesn't open orders, it manages the stops and closes of orders that are entered manually or by some other EA.

There are many trading EAs around. If you are trying to learn Strategy Tester, use MACD_Sample that comes delivered with the MT4 platform. Others are the various breakout EAs on these forums.

have you checked visual mode box ?

Thanks guys for your time. It seems yet I see no trade open on my chart. Can any of you please post a EA that will post trades in backtesting mode, so I will be able to see it anyhow [either on chart, or in result tab or graph tab]
I know where to put file, and how to press ctrl+r, how pick TF and how to press strat button, but no trade can I see taken... :/

EDIT: Sorry, I think I got it now...
