On the chart where you are performing the backtest, make sure the options for "Trading >> Chart Trade Mode On" and "Trade >> Auto-Trading Enabled - Chart" and "Trade >> Auto-Trading Enabled - Global" are all enabled (have a checkmark next to them). According to that message, at least one of these is not set properly.
