I thought maybe it would be helpful for people to learn how to backtest better and to learn how to use the "Strategy Tester" in MT4.
Every time I use the strategy tester, this is what happens. It doesn't matter if I do "every tick" or "control points," it runs the test, and then it doesn't give me any results.

Can anyone provide a quick step by step tutorial on using Strategy Tester or on backtesting for us idiots who are obviously doing something wrong? The trusty old search engine seems to be failing in telling me what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks!
