Backtest data equal zero everytime???

[FAP_Noob]

Just like my username, I an new to all this. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Everytime I do a backtest, I don't get any results, just zeroes for results. I loaded the data from 1999 - present. I input 10k, did a test for this year 1/1/08 - 12/1/08 at M1 and M5, loaded the FAP presets, hit the start button, it does it's thing and then I go to the results page and all I see is starting =10k, and everything else says zero. I looked at the sticky thread but it's not helping me out. Is there something that needs to be checked off? Is there a tutorial anywhere I can use? :confused: Thanks

When you go to the options tab do you make sure everything is check marked on the left? Also, only enter in your settings on the first row down. Don't worry about the other rows.
