Okay. (If there is a better way to do this, please let me know. This is literally my first day using the software, and I'm still learning how to use everything.)

After running the back test, the Trade Service Log says:

Auto-trade: Bar Backtest: MSFT Daily #11 | DefaultSpreadsheetSystemForTradingStudy | SellEntry | Bar start date-time: 2020-07-23 00:00:00.000 | SellEntry signal is ignored because a Short position exists or working order quantities indicate a potential Short position, and 'Multiple Entries in Same Direction' is not enabled. Position: -1. Position with all working orders: -1. Position with Market working orders: -1 | 2020-08-13 01:17:01.443

And the Message Log says:
Bar Backtest: MSFT Daily #11 | Back test processing: NumberOfTimesCalculateCalled (Cumulative) = 0 | 2020-08-13 01:17:01.499

Now when I open the Trade Activity Log, the Trade Service Log displays several dozen lines like these:
File version is -1. Expected: 2. File not read and renamed to C:\SierraChart\TradeActivityLogs\TradeActivityLog_2005-10-27_UTC.Sim1.simulated.data.2020-08-12 202010.corrupt | 2020-08-13 01:20:10.049 *

Afterwards it displays this line:
TradeActivity files query time: 0.231628 seconds. Entries: 737. Current queries: 1 | 2020-08-13 01:20:10.272

The message log has corresponding lines saying the files were successfully moved.
