Help with EA Backtest

[Forexsake]

Hi,

I am trying to learn how to create a simple robot. Basically as an example I want it to buy when the daily price closes above a MA (144 as example) and then close when the closing prices closes Below the MA, but when I test it I don't get any trades and I get the following

2018.05.24 16:24:56.540 There were 1 passes done during optimization, 1 results have been discarded as insignificant.

Code as below, cant figure out what I am doing wrong, thanks and appreciate the help.

#include <stdlib.mqh>

#include <stderror.mqh>

This is indicator code. Not EA.
