Shouldn't you be posting this in the AT forum?    d From: amibroker@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 3:57 PM To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [amibroker] How can I backtest an index like the DJI? Dingo,   When I autotrade using the stimulated trading account, I get a error that I cannot trade indexes. Therefore, I think that my formula is ok, but something else is wrong.   Thanks, Tom Subject: RE: [amibroker] How can I backtest an index like the DJI?
