You press start and wait. Also, check the www.mql4.com site. As far as I remember there was an article on testing EAs there.

You do not need to attach EA to anything when testing. For the results check the bookmars you ll see in Strategy tester.

But again, all the above applies only if you use MetaTrader as your platform (which is THE best platform available now).



Hope that helps. Cheers,
