Could we have a way to put an index /VVC graph on parallel to a backtest that we have run so we can see the backtest rea-time performance
It would be great to see an index or the VVC graph alongside a back-test result graph so that we can see how our idea performed against the market at the time of the back-test. That would give more depth/proof to the back-test I'm thinking.
Thanks

Add a setting to allow backtester to select reinvesting dividends or not.
I am trying to find a filter that will generate the most income per year from stocks that payout regular dividends. I know ETF are hard to get dividend payout information, but most other stocks provide this information.

Allow full charting capabilities on Backtested Models
Since Dr. D said there is NO model which will work all the time, it would be nice to be able to chart trendlines and use other market timing tools on the model's performance chart to help determine when it's time to abandon that model or start using it again.

export backtest equity curve to excel
Backtester currently plots the equity curve, but we need a way to export the same data into Excel so that we can do further analyses in Excel to be able to do more through benchmark analyses as well as to be able to compare across different markets and indices. The data is already available and plotted. We just need to export it to a file -- just like what was already done for "Trade History". Please make this available ASAP. Thank you.

Better clarification is needed for the Backtester “Customized Trading System” rules for “Stop Criteria” of the “Trailing Stop” feature.
Better clarification is needed for the Backtester “Customized Trading System” rules for “Stop Criteria” of the “Trailing Stop” feature. Specifically, better wording is needed for the relationship between the 2 kinds of stop criteria:
- Trailing Stop percentage and
- Gain or Loss percentage
The current wording says that the Gain or Loss is “optional” (provided 1 or 2 percentages are entered). New wording will to indicate that condition 1 or condition 2 will satisfy the stop, whichever occurs first. Not only should the wording be enhanced, but an enhancement of the display of the 2 features at the bottom left of…

Add new backtest grouping: Group by Unisearch.
This would help the user to see under which conditions a search is optimal. It could also be used to compare results to the existing grouping by timing system.

Backtests should include the subscription costs of VectorVest version and plug-ins being used.
Commissions are accounted for in VV back testing, but not the cost of using the VV data. The last webinar had a 5 1/2 year backtest w/ $4500 worth of commissions, but no impact on results from VV costs of anywhere from $3000 to over $12000 depending on version and plug-ins. Could these costs be added to the Back Tester?

I would like the auto tester to give a choice to autom add funds to any green light you're using, whether it's confirmed calls etc., to see
I would like the auto tester to give a choice to autom add funds to any green light you're using, whether it's confirmed calls etc., to see how it would work out for periods of time. Say I'm using the conf calls, and I started my portf with 10G, when I'm setting the backtest, I'd like the system to be able to add $200 or whatever amount of your choice or no amount to whenever a green light confirmed call came, to see how that would play out over a period of time. I thought that would be a good…

Ability in backtest to hold or liquidate portfolio and cease puchasing when a confirmed call changes.
My best backtest strategy does great when confirmed up and terrible when confirmed down. Would like to test whether it is better to sell entire portfolio or hold until stop when a confirmed down is called. As a bonus: The ability to switch strategy with confirmed calls would be nice.
