Can anyone assist me in understanding how to make use of back testing here?
 
I am familiar with the Strategy Tester in Metatrader and that is the only location I know about to gather data. I have some EAs that I would like to test across a lot of years and to receive the fxbook-styled analysis for them.

Can I just export files from Strategy Tester and then import them into myfxbook? When myfxbook asks for Strategy Report, what is it referring to?

I will greatly appreciate any guidance that is provided.

Thanks.

Run the backtest, when you have the graph, go to Report tab, right click and Save report.
That is the file you have to upload.

Surround yourself with people whose eyes light up when they see you and who have no agenda for your reform.
