Yes can backtest either a single symbol, or an entire DataSet. Select this option here:
Luigi, are you looking for a way to compare the performance of individual stocks inside a portfolio backtest as Glitch suggests? In such case, the following performance visualizers aim to help:
1. Performance Visualizers -> By Symbol
It shows you a table of performance metrics for each symbol traded during the backtest
2. PowerPack Extension -> Contribution

This one shows a breakdown of total profit/loss on a per symbol basis, by entry/exit signal name, by calendar month, by average % P/L per bar, by position type (long/short)

Then then By Symbol visualizer is the closest to what you want.
The best way for doing this is to use large starting capital and a small position size to prevent NSF and then use By Symbol as Eugen suggests.
