Tom, I back test indexes all the time. There is no problem in doing so. You must have settings wrong or code wrong.

Every time I run a backtest on a database containing an index, I never get any buy or sell results for the index. If I run a backtest on the index only, I still do not get any results. However, I know that my formula would trigger buy and sell signals. Why wouldn't the backtest work on an index. I have used ^dji and indu-nyse-ind as symbols. What is wrong?
