In reality, thisworkbook works fine and there is no glitch. I also left some files that way to discourage people from renaming and then reposting the files. The code can be easily modified with Find/replace.

Is there any particular reason to hardcode file names in your code rather than use ThisWorkBook? People seem to stumble upon errors due to this (so did I). Hi ExcelTrader,

(not .xlsm). Also make sure that after downloading data, you have received valid data from yahoo. If the data is ok, run the backtest.
