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. -- Terry -----Original Message----- From: amibroker@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Fitch Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 14:31 To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [amibroker] Backtesting Index...No Results 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.

Attached is a screenshot of ^DJI with buy/sell signals for your condition and another of the Backtester.

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.

Perhaps your conditions do not generate signals for most indices.

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 _____ No virus found in this incoming message.
