Why can it be so hard to have both a start button and a test start button? I only have the test button and cannot find the start button anywhere. On YouTube, many people can start the EA by pressing start, and it runs automatically, but I only have the test start button! I know how to drag it to the chart or double-click, that’s not the problem, I just can’t START it!

You seem to be confusing many things or maybe it has to do with a translation issue between German and English, but there is no "Start" button because that is not how it works.

Did you not read the documentation as I asked you to?

To make things more simple, please close the Strategy Tester window, and stop thinking about it for now. It is irrelevant for this purpose.

As soon as you attach an EA to the chart it automatically starts. There is no need to have a "Start" button. Can you understand it better now?
