Please make sure you have applied at least 1 signal to the chart and it is turned on to make backtesting or auto-trading possible:
# '''Right-Clickсlick''' on the chart,
# '''Format Signals''':
#* If '''Format Signals''' is grayed out, it means no signals are currently applied to the chart to generate orders. [[Using Studies#Inserting Studies| '''Add signals''']] to the chart.
#* If '''Format Signals''' is available, click it to see the list of signals applied signals to the chart. Make sure at least 1 signal [[Using Studies#Turning Studies Off and On| '''is ON''']].
# Click '''OK'''.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': '''if a signal is applied successfully, this does not mean it should show you display orders'''. Please [[Why chart shows no trades#Strategy is applied and calculated, but no orders are shown on chart| read this passage]].</div>

==="Error", "No" or "Unverified" for a signal in the Status in Format Signals window===
Follow the next these steps exactly as they are described:
# '''Close''' all MultiCharts parts and make sure all [[MultiCharts Processes]] are ended in the Windows Task Manager,
# Launch only MultiCharts,
#* If it is not compiled, debug the script,
#* If it is compiled successfully, go back to MultiCharts,
# MultiCharts: '''right-click''' on the chart, where the signal is applied to,

===Strategy is constantly "calculating" in the status line===
Each signal code requires at least 1 bar to be calculated on it before it can place an order. For signals, the number of bars a code should be calculated on before it can place an order is defined by the [[Strategy Properties#Setting Maximum Bars Back| Maximum number of bars a study will reference (MaxBarsBack) in Strategy Properties]]. If you have an incorrect MaxBarsBack value, you will see '''calculating...''' in the Status Line of the chart, and therefore you need to change this value. In order to see this, make sure your Status Line is configured correctly:
# '''Right-Clickclick''' on the chart,
# '''Format Window''',
# '''Status Line''' tab,
