Color Guard display for Date Line or Crosshair marker graph
Add a tiny Color Guard display (just the three colors) as you move the Date cursor or Crosshair cursor across a graph. This would help in backtesting or figuring out why a stock went with or against the general market.

BackTest Using a 30,60,90 day price perf. div. by ATR
Hi,
I would like to create a search and back test using a
30+60+90 day price performance divided by ATR or STDEV sorted in descending order.
Is there a way to do something like this or something which comes close to this concept?
I am missing ATR or any volatility function other than BB, do you plan to include this into the protrader?

New Backtest Concept
Present concept is to take a set of stocks at a certain date and see results at the end date. With a tiny capacity to have stops in place. This concept is static.
I suggest to transform from static to dynamic by :
1. adding sorting capacities in unisearch
2. Every day, Backtest system takes the top N stocks (Display top N) of the search (with sort) and assume that this is the population to be present in the BT Portfolio that day.
if one stock is new in list, this is a Long Entry
if one stock was in…4 votes -

In backtesting, need option to sell at trailing stop price
At the moment you cannot exit a position at the trailing stop but rather at the close or next days average, which is always higher or lower than the trailing stop. This is not an accurate representation of real life as normally the position would be closed at the trailing stop.

add backtesting of certain times. ie run search at 10am of search and see what it did hours later
Allow backtesting of times not just end of day data. I want to do a search at 10 am and see what the stock did minutes or hours, days later. not just end of the day.

Back Testing Data Availability
In back testing on 6/20/10 w/ VV 7 Intraday, I can only back test up to Wednesday, 6/16/10 instead the weekend (6/18/10). I want to do back testing to get ready for Monday's market. I can do better using the ProGraphics, except for some of the searches are not available. When I selected VV7 Intraday, I was told the data was 15 minutes behind real time. Now I am told that it will not be available until Tue 6/22/10 (6 days later!!!). This is a serious handicap and should be resolved ASAP.

backtesting individual stocks in VV7
To backtest individual stocks in VV7 you have to create a watchlist and then create a search that equals your watchlist. It is great that we can backtest a search but it would be great to have the ability to backtest existing watchlists and to create your own list of stocks inside the backtest tab of VV7.

BUG in REC=S for 2 weeks
I backtested a portfolio (using Stalwarts) with long STOP at REC=S for 2 weeks. Looking at the stocks which were stopped-out, and the history of the stocks, they were stopped at less than 2 wks. Please fix.

Backtest Graph - shown as it would have appeared on a given date, automatically.
When I run a search for backtesting purposes, it would be helpful if the graph would default to that specific date. Example - run a search for stocks on 1/3/07 - graph should appear as it would have on 1/3/07 not as of today's date.
