Hi, Pradip:

Your question/request is a VERY broad/general one. It would take many pages of typing and snapshots to answer.

Thad's suggestion about watching the TUTORIALS is a very good one. I suggest that you START there.

Then, I would ALSO suggest that you go through OT's Help sections, especially the four titled:
Data Settings
Analysis (except Test Profile ... save that for later and do your "learning" with EOD data)
Trading Strategies in OmniTrader
Portfolio Simulations

Once you have absorbed all the Tutorial Video information, and have studied the four Help sections that I mentioned, then you will be able to ask more SPECIFIC questions that will be practical to answer in a short time.

NOTE: it's not "hard" to do the backtesting, but there are a lot of things you need to understand first. That's part of using OmniTrader ... it has a big learning-curve ... but once you understand it, you'll be REALLY happy that you spent the time to learn it.

I hope this helps!
