No Trades During Backtesting

Issue

After the backtest finished no trades are showing.


Backtest - empty backtest

Backtest - journal

If you see no trades during backtesting then usually it is down to EA settings issue.

Run a Backtest in Visual Mode

In order to see any settings issue with the the Lucky Trader EA I would suggest to run a backtest in Visual mode. This would give a chance to see the EA dashboard and any error message in it.

Go to the MT5 Strategy Tester window and tick the Visual mode box:


Backtest Visual mode
Tip: In the event of no Visual mode box is visible then follow the steps in the Visual Mode Checkbox Missing in Strategy Tester topic.

Now run the backtesting in visual mode: click on the Start button. The Visual mode would make visible any potential EA messages in the backtesting chart, giving hints for next steps.

Watch out for any red messages in the chart area.
