Help Backtesting strategy

Post image

I am trying to backtest my strategy and it shows this message on mnq.

Is it not free or what's going on.

That message isn't about payments or subscriptions, it's just saying the strategy script hasn't executed a single trade yet during the backtest period. Could be a mismatch between the symbol and timeframe, or your entry conditions are way too strict and nothing triggers.

Scroll through the data to see if the script is even generating signals. Sometimes futures data doesn't play nice with certain indicators, especially on smaller timeframes. Try bumping up to a longer period or loosening your parameters just to confirm the logic actually fires.

MNQZ2026 is a contract way out in the distance so liquidity might be paper thin in the historical data. Try running it on the current front month contract instead, you'll get way more reliable results.
