I don't see signals or trades with my MTNTF7 strategy
MTNTF7 No Results
in 99% of all cases this is due to not understanding or configuring the Trade Setup mode and Trade Entry - 2 Phase Signals indicators and how they are used inside a strategy - it is vital to follow the guidance or you will find it very hard or easy accordingly:
N.B. It is the Indicator signal that causes the signals - the strategy merely listens for and executes the signals according to the the settings for Order Type - then manages the trade -with no spark/signal nothing is fired the engine wont work... so you will get no results if you have no spark/signal.
...Once you understand the principle of one signals indicator and one strategy you will find all are 90% the same with only a difference of indicator and signal logic...
