I have a alinco dx-sr8t radio with a aor la-400 indoor loop antenna which is on a table beside the radio and I am not receiving anything no stations weird
-
Need more info, bud... like appt. dweller w. an aluminum roof maybe, like moi. And no way to put up an outside antenna, like moi. So what's your situation?
-
Are all the radio settings set to allow reception? (squelch off etc etc)
Does it power up?
Speaker properly connected and working?
A few feet of wire jammed into the antenna port should allow at least some ambc stations to be heard.

Does it power up?
;) Is it plugged in? ;)

Do you receive any local MW stations? If you don't, then your problem is undoubtedly the antenna or connections.
If you receive MW stations well, then it's either the way the antenna may be set up, or perhaps it's bad shortwave propagation conditions.
