You put in the dates, but you have not ACTUALLY SELECTED to use those dates.
Click the radio button beside the dates.
I did this many times expecting it to default to my dates when changed. It
does not.

Thanks Bill
Noticed you had run the backtest on all quotations. When I do this , I get
signals until sell 1/5/1955 for ^DJI. Then tried ^DJT, and got signals
through today. But when I put in specific date range, last "n" quotes or
last "n" days...nothing. The attached screenshot shows ^DJI results, all
quotes.
May have to kick this over to Support...
Thanks for taking the time to look into this.
Dave

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
