Is it possible to choose a symbol in the current dataset to run a Rotation Strategy on?

I'm trying to imagine why you would want to run a rotation system on one symbol??
Because it worked this way in WL6 ;)

@Glitch,
2 reasons:
1) During my testing I've discovered that the Backtester randomly selects a symbol for this purpose. Sometimes that choice comes out to be a symbol that has a short history so that the backtest starts at a much later date and the results are not representative for the full period. In lieu of a user not being able to select a symbol perhaps the backtester's logic can be improved so it only selects from the symbols with the longest histories?
2) (this is less important than #1 but still important) I may only want to see the chart + plots of only the symbol that I clicked on.

A Rotation Strategy, by nature, rotates in and out of a GROUP of symbols, while staying invested 100% of the time.
If you feel you MUST do this, just create a DataSet of 1 symbol and run the Rotation Strategy using that DataSet.
