Hello Wealth Lab,
I am running testing on the Australian market. How do I incorporate an Australian benchmark e.g. the All Ordinaries code $XAO or the S&P ASX 300 index code $XKO.
I have tried including $XKO in my data set but the backtest does not seem to run if I put that code for the benchmark in Strategy Settings.
Thank you.

Hi,
You should find the benchmark symbol supported by your data provider in the scale of your backtest. Note that popular sources like Yahoo, Wealth-Data or QData support end-of-day data only. The symbol and its availability varies with data feed.

You need to select a Historical Provider that serves $XAO and $XKO. Would that be Norgate?
Currently we don't have NorgateData for WL7/8, so that probably leaves you to depend on Yahoo! Finance for now. The corresponding Y! index codes are: ^AORD and ^AXKO
