The sensible way is to manually walk forward through the charts bar by bar using the F12 key

Alternatively you can write an expert advisor to automate the process (but you'll end up having to backtest manually anyway to check the EA is working correctly (which it wont be )

The sensible way is to manually write an EA that works properly and run the tester.

Plus you can just see at historical data and understand if your theory works or not
