Cannot Get MetaTrader To Work Right

Hello, I am new to this forum as well as trading and I have been playing with metatrader 4 now for a couple days, but I cannot get custom EA's to work right. I have been following the FifthElement's thread about his Blessing EA and I love what I have read so far.

Here is my problem.

I load this EA into its proper Experts folder, then compile it in Metaeditor so I get an .ex4 file which I know it needs, but after I load it into another chart on the program and backtest it....it does nothing. I see other peoples charts with arros, lines and all kinds of stuff all over the place, but I cant even get a simple line chart to come up (the one in the tester window, graph)...am I doing something wrong here? please help as I would greatly appreciate it!!

forgive me for asking but, how do you change the lot size? do you mean on the EA or the program itself?

I have this problem with other EA's as well not just that one, seems the only ones I dont have problems with are the EA's that came with the program.

I must be doing something wrong here, really wrong

thanks for the help!!
