2-Select a very simple,included in the platform EA,like MA sample or MACD sample..this is just to allow for the chart running,do not care about the EA results..

3-Click visual tester,low and to to the left in the strategy tester,and select a normal(25 to 28) speed with the speed selector bar located just near the "visual tester"

4-Click play button,like in a dvd..then once you start seeing the chart moving..click pause button..DO NOT CLICK STOP

5-With the navigator,open _00_ZZ_Window,check the settings,and attach to chart

6-Click play button again ,wait until the moving chart starts painting rightly the indicator(it needs some initial history),15 to 30 seconds,then just relax and observe..you can alter the speed to what is more comfortable to you..Then you can do it "as it happens" or once finished,check both all the repaints and all the good signals and decide if you need or not to modify your strategy..you can do this to check "simulated live" the behaviour of your favourite indicators or strategies and it is an excellent learning tool
