Add "No new positions" to Backtest
In back-testing, add a feature that prevents new positions.
My use case is one that watches some technical indicator on the market, which is more precise than VV market timing signals. For example, "Don't open any new long position if MTI < 1.05".
Currently, I build a search that I know will yield zero results. I modify the back-test to use that search until the condition changes.
If this feature were implemented, the back-test would only have to evaluate stop criteria until the constraint was lifted. It would bypass running searches until the back-tester stopped, and the constrant "unchecked."

Ensure Backtest results summary matches results from Report Summary
Baktest results on My Backtest page do not match results from 'Report Summary' (Tot Value, % G/L, % Winners) I understand that they would match if all positions were closed at end of backtest. However we may want to keep equities open so test can continue in future. I suggest that the two reports be set up to match even when backtest positions not closed

better VV7 backtest reports
Currently the Report available for VV7 backtests are pretty pitiful. I know you are working hard to improve VV7. The backtest reports need to be as complete as they are in the Simulator.

Add fixed amount in backtester when using Autotester
This feature is available in Simulator to show how robust the search is during length of test and avoid situations where purchase of unreal amount of stocks come up on a buy signal. Now it can only be done manually after stopping at each turn. Should be an easy addition.

Make VV7 more accurate on labeling pink sheets
VV7 and VV6 still pick up these stocks as not being pink, although they are: NMTI, SUPR, DJSP, CCME, These stocks can skew results of tests and there may be more.

Add a Don't DayTrade option to backtest
For testing ideas with very volatile stocks, it would be good to avoid the broker's penalty for buying/selling stocks on the same day they were sold/bought. This would supplement the "don't rebuy a stock for x-number of days" option.

Open/ Close
In Vectorvest 6 you had the option to buy at the open and sell at the close, or buy at the close and sell at the open, etc.
In Vestorvest 7 you must buy and sell at the same time, buy/sell at close, buy/sell at open.
Is it possible to have the VV6 flexibility put into VV7 ? I really need it for the type of backtesting I do.
