Did you start the strategy in the UI or command line?
Tommies strategy requires a lot of history before it can start trading - his default setting for SMA_Long is 1000. That means the strategy needs 1000 candles before it will give advice. @8min per candle that's 5.5 days.
If you loaded the trader from the command line it will try to use loca data and download data for this history, although that isn't always successful in my experience. If you started from the UI, it will simply wait until it has gathered enough history before it starts trading - and even then my only give advice every few days.
TL;DR: Probably just need to give it more time
