FMR Light Can't backtest why??

Guys, why is it that there are some expert advisors that do not show anything on backtesting? I have a couple but one example is the FMR light, also the universal EA from the championship 2008. When I run backtest on these I get no results, anybody knows why this is? Do I need to comment some part of the code for backtesting?

Hi!

 

I don't remember that smart guy over here who taught me that you need to look for a piece of code in MQ4 using "IsTesting" in it and make it commented, simply putting // before such piece of code.

 

You need similarly comment all lines in EA function which tests whether EA it's being back tested or not.

 

Good luck)

yeah, I remember that too I think it was in the IASE thread, however this expert does not have the istesting part in the code

if the ea in question is a MTF type ea it can not do its thing on the tester.. That is usually the main reason.. what does the expert tab tell you while running the tester??
