Backtesting problems

I have existing chart for last week. After defining study by instructions I get new data to chart (MA lines and study name DAX) OK.
Now I try to test different settings by putting test trades into chart. Before starting actual backtest I get message asking clear trade data to start test. If I choose ok all the trades dissappier from chart and just empty trade activity log. Trade service log says ordea cancellation failed. The order is no longer working. Same empty trade log if I choose no.

What am I doing wrong?

You can safely ignore this and this will be resolved in the next release.

When prompted to clear the simulated trading data for the Symbol and Trade Account and you chose No, the data will not be cleared. Make sure you are setting the controls at the top of the Trade Activity Log correctly to see the existing data that is already there and not cleared:
