Terry Thanks for your suggestions. Backtester Settings seem okay. Portfolio tab has a box to check that eliminates zero volume problems so that mutual funds work. Those indexes that do work are predominatly interest rate tickers, ^FVX,^IRX,^TNX. But one other ticker creeped in, airlines, ^XAL. I've looked through the other AA/Backtester/Settings, including making min shares, 0.001.
If none worked, I'd feel it must have to do with the way index tickers are designated in yahoo. But a few do work... My pee brain is overwhelmed!

You probably have a volume limit checked in AA->Settings->Porfolio tab. Check to box to disable if no volume. Also, ^RUT has a few month period where Yahoo DID give volume, so I would simply make it 0 when testing indexes, otherwise it will "pay attention" to volume when/if it is there. -- Terry -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Fitch Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 10:59 To: [email protected] Subject: [amibroker] Backtesting Index...No Results 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
