backtest improvements
I would like to run a backtest where it takes profit (closes trade) at an exact percentage of profit and where it will take a stop loss at end of day price or opening of next day price. I see huge differences here between the stop loss and the take profit percentages over a year long backtest.

Multi stop criteria in Backtester
Can we please add the ability to use more than 1 stop criteria in Backtester. For eg, you can select 3 separate stop loss criteria in Backtester and whichever is first triggered on a particular day is the stop loss criteria that would be actioned on a particular stock. Thanks

Allow custom timing systems for back testing.
It would be great to be able to create a custom timing system to back test strategies. For example, I'd like to use an MTI moving average crossover to test various strategies.

Monte Carlo Simulator with Unisearch random selection
Take VV out of the DARK ages with Monte
Typical Scenario
Go to cash on a certain "sell" signal (or short) then buy the top x number of stocks from a given Unisearch based on a certain "buy" signal. But obviously, the top 5 stock by RT will be different to the top 5 by CI and so on an so forth, so you do another backtest sorted by CI and other by RT etc. However, one run of a Unisearch mechanic based on picking the top (say) 5 stocks using CI or RT etc may result in a freak…

I like the suggestion
member; 354571
dear customerservice,
I like the following suggestion:
can you install the UNISEARCH tool in the backtester - Automation Rules - Stop Criteria, so that I have a lot of more possibilities in the backtester.for example: I want that the backtester sells the stock in the portfolio, if the MA stock price 20 days is becoming under the MA stock price of 50 days.
thank in advance for putting this in your software updating.
best wishes,
Leo J.M. van der Werf

Backtester and Genius need to have an option to protect profits.
For example, say the criteria is 50% profit & 10% loss and you have unrealized 40% profit. There should be an automatic method to trigger a sale to protect the profits before incurring 10% loss during a downturn. Perhaps a option to sell when 50% of the gain is lost or a trigger based on Moving Average Stop.
I discussed in Tampa with Dr DiLiddo and he agreed this should be an option.

Replicate old system (VV US) whereby backtesting can be marched forward one day at a time.
In the old system, one could create a portfolio on a certain date and then march it forward one day at a time with one click. This was a wonderful educative tool and enabled the member to observe the behavior of the portfolio vis a vis the broad market and other factors. This is a big confidence builder in using the more aggressive and successful but highly volatile strategies. (Think bottom fishing strategies).

Auto Tester Override Stop Criteria for Positions Opened in Different Situation
When using Auto tester, add a new feature called Override Stop (in addition to Buy Long, Cash, No Action). This feature would allow a strategy to override Stop Criteria during that signal phase. For example, if the Up phase Buy Long used a Stop of VST < 1.0, the strategy could change to VST < 1.1 during a Neutral Phase. If the signal phase goes back to Up, the Stops for those positions returns to VST < 1.0.

Backtest test name field could be longer
I'm finding the name field for each back test to be too short (at 50 characters). That probably seems like a good number of characters but when trying to organize my tests (which accumulate quite fast even without auto tester) I find I'm running out of characters.

Backtester stop criteria doesn't include ProTrader options.
I just got your ProTrader Add On and so far in my back testing I'm not able to simulate the way I really try to trade. That is, if I buy on a MACD and DPO crossover I might want to stop out of the position on some combination of these ProTrader signals. Is there anything in the works or the pipeline to add such a feature to the Back Tester?

Provide best Contra ETF search in the new CC Sure Fire Success Strategies
I would like to see Contra ETFs and Leveraged Contra ETFs included in the backtesting setups for the 2014 Confirmed Call Sure Fire Success series. This would allow use in IRA accounts. My Backtest results using Leveraged Contra ETFs as a substitute for the Short strategies have yield approximately 3% improvements in % Gain, ARR, and DrawDn percentages.

Day Trading Backtesting - Closing Trades at End of Day
I day trade stocks entering at market open based on previous days closing signals and close today 15 minutes before market closes, win or lose. Repeat the next day. I cannot seem to make the backtest module replicate this process. I decide on bullish or bearish positions based on my own proprietary market direction signals not VV calls. I would like to test a search by putting my start and end date for bull or bear move in backtester, then have the backtester buy previous day's search results at market open price today and close all positions at market close…

Add Dividend Payments made on stocks during the period of the backtest
To assess the overall performance of a backtest, the details of dividends paid during the period of the backtest are a vital component of the assessment.

Please redefine "Round Lots" as 1,000 shares for Singapore Market
The Singapore market trade in lots of 1000 shares and not 100 shares. Can we have the "Round Lots" defined in increments of 1,000 shares in the Back Test, Portfolio Management, Quick Test, etc?
FYI the Odd Lot counters here are very illiquid and the Bid-Ask spreads are just too wide to even trade with.
