Strategy tester indicator attached

I got my hands on an expert that you can use to test indicators. Wish I had found this a long time ago, It would have saved tons of hours of frustration and poorly spent money making EA's out of junk.

Copy the file into your experts folder.

Start metatrader

open strategy tester

Load the indicator tester

In the expert properties, change the name to the indicator you want to test

Put in the correct settings (get them from the indicator)

Use visual mode to test.

A "1" is a good indicator.
A "zero" is not to be trusted
99....54.....21.... all trash
anything else means there are issues and maybe you don't want to use it.

Maybe these will help. If not, be more specific and I'll try to make it clearer. Keep in mind, I am just learning about this myself.

I came across to this thread and I would like more information. Does this allow alert prompt to display in the Strategy Tester? Also, will this be able to record CSV file when running the tester?
Thanks,
David

I tested an indicator (BSTrend.ex4) and it shows redraw factor as 3. Is it worthy using it?
