Re: new strategy not trading
The most probable reason for an EA to not trade is that the entry conditions are not fulfilled.
Do you see any errors or warnings at the MT output?
You can tray the MT Tester (phhh. I haven't said that.) to see if everything is ok. You can pre-define the test start date because there is no other way making MT Tester loading enough bars.

actually my problem is that i make a new strategy and generally there is chart on the right bottom corner but in this case there are no balance graph.
could it be that in the sample period there are not enough trades generated by the strategy?

The Balance line is at the bottom of the chart and shows zero.
The strategy makes loosing trades and reaches Margin Call.
The Margin Call time is shown as a vertical line.
