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.

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.
