I don't know exactly what is wrong but it is not the symbol. Attached is a screenshot of ^DJI with buy/sell signals for your condition and another of the Backtester.

Bill,
I tried something simple and time period from 10/31/02 to today for say ^DJI. No buys or sells generated.
//Simple Backtest
Buy=Cross( MACD(), Signal() );
Sell=Cross( Signal(), MACD() );
They generate plenty signals for stocks,etfs but not for most indexes with " ^ ".
Something simple that I don't understand I'll bet.
Thanks
Dave

What are your buy/sell conditions? Perhaps your conditions do not generate signals for most indices.

Can someone tell me why individual backtest yields no results for most indexes. These begin with a "^" in front, ^DJI. A few do work,ie ^FVX,^IRX,^TNX,^XAL. But most show no buys/sells. This is EOD data.
Thanks
Dave
