That error means we couldn't create a QCAlgorithm object; likely the file(s) you're sending don't have a QCAlgorithm class or you have 2-of them so we don't know which one to backtest. Please attach the file you're attempting to backtest in a comment here.

Thank you very much , Jared !
Indeed, I was trying to add my algo to existing project that already includes another extension of QCAlgorithm class. I am realizing now I can just type in the name of brand new project for the code to be added to. I did so, and things worked fine. Thanks a lot for your advise.
