# Click '''OK'''.
Take into account that '''if a signal is applied successfully it doesn't mean it should show you orders anyway'''. Please [[Why chart shows no trades#Strategy is applied and calculated, but no orders are shown on chart| read this passage]].

==="Error", "No" or "Unverified" for a signal in the Status in Format Signals window===
# Click '''OK'''.
If there is no '''calculating...''' in the status line after that, this is not the reason of the absence of strategy-generated orders on chart.

===Strategy is applied and calculated, but no orders are shown on chart===
 
If there is no order on backtested chart, it means either the '''order generation conditions in your code''', or the '''conditions for order execution''' (prices on chart) '''were not met on the chart'''. The same is '''true''' also for '''real-time script calculation''' (so called "forwardtesting") and '''auto-trading'''.
Please [[Why an Order Was or Was Not Executed| '''read this article''']] in order to learn more and find out how you can trace your order generation and execution from within the code to understand why it doesn't work as expected.
<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">'''Example''': If standard signals '''Custom Strategy LX''' and '''Custom Strategy SX''' are applied to a chart, there will be no order on chart, because '''LX''' and '''SX''' stand for '''Long Exit''' and '''Short Exit''' respectfully. [[How Scripts Work#Order Execution Priority| If there are no entries, no exit orders can be generated]].</div>
