MT Scalper how got get started

Originally from ticket #3045.

Hi

I've been working with the MT Scalper for the last 5 days on 1 minute emini charts. I have it enabled and it has not made a trade since I had it. I'm using the simulation mode and have 3 days of data in the one minute chart. I don't know why it won't trade. I am running the data feed all night and day with the scalper running and still no trades. Honestly I've almost given up. When I enable it in the control center the name of it shades up in green but nothing else happens. Does Easy Trader need to be running at the same time?

Thanks,
Jerry

Request #3047 "MT Scalper" was closed and merged into this request. Last comment in request #3047:

I can get the Scalper Signal indicator to work on my ES 1 mini chart but I cannot get the Scalper strategy to make a trade. I'm using 1 minute emini charts for both. I have the scalper indication on the charts and making virtual trades but not the Scalper strategy. I'm I missing an on off button or something. In the control center it seems to working ok. The cell it's in turns to green when I enabled it to start trading. Need help....

Thanks, Jerry
