Strategy Tester issue

New comment
Just got into MQL5 programming and wanting to play around with the strategy tester so I downloaded Scalp All and attempted to use the strategy tester with it. Every time I do it says "Experts\Advisors\ScalpAll.ex5 not found"

What's the deal?

You must install (or place) the expert advisor in the experts folder of your MT5 first.

I see that this expert has a set of other files that need to be installed too.

Have you done that?

There is also a warning about using this expert only on demo account, maybe doesn't work in tester.

Not, it is not a possible sorry.
It should be EA or indicator.
Because in case of script - it should be in Scripts folder (not in Expert Advisors folder).

May be - there is some way to test it in strategy tester but I do not know about them.
