Please make sure you have applied at least 1 signal to chart and it is turned on to make backtesting or auto-trading possible:
# '''Right-Click''' 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.
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===
