Backtest report software improvements
The Trade History report is available from the Reports icon at the top of the screen, but not in the menu displayed from a right-click on the back-test row. Easy to fix!
The printout file of MyBacktests does not include the ‘Timing List’ column shown on the screen.
‘Timing List’ is quirky, how about Timing Regime or Timing Signal, or 'Market Timing'?
Would be very helpful for MyBacktests include the Stop criteria as this is one of the most common 'what-ifs' people run, I have observed in user groups.
The Trade History is currently exportable. MyBacktest and Transaction reports should…

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.

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.

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

Software bug in Backtester
In VV7 Backtester It is difficult, if not impossible, to reproduce the "Easy Rider" strategy as demonstrated in the 3 Easy Rider videos of 2011 (VV6 was in use at that time).
The problems are:
1. It is only possible to setup Long or Short trades and not both unless Market Timing is checked (Easy Rider requires both Long and Short trades and does not require Market Timing).
2. Once Market Timing is checked it is necessary to elect one Search in the setup process which persists throughout the strategy run. This frustrates selecting the appropriate searches from the Derby…1 vote -
Make the Simulator and Variator function with VV7
The true test of an investment process is its success over time. A one shot test of a process may or may not function well in other time periods. The Derby will tell what is working this moment. While that is of value I would like to discover if a process that is suitable to my risk parameters works over time.

Increase capacity of saved back tests. VV deletes tests (randomly?) after ~ 500
VV deletes tests (randomly?) after ~500. There needs to be an option (even at a slight $premium) to increase the allotted tests or allow export/import of results and settings.

BackTester results grid sorting is slow when results are grouped
To replicate the problem:
Create 100+ backtests
Group the results (e.g. by Start Date)
Click a column header to sort (e.g. by % G/L)
The UI freezes for several seconds while it sorts the results grid.1 vote -
When I try to print my backtest results, I can't get the results to print on one page. If I could select columns to print that would fix it.
If I could select the columns I wanted to print, or reduce the width of a column, I could then get the results I want to print all on one page rather than having the last two columns on the next page.

Backtester Stop Functionality
Can we add into Backtester a stop functionality whereby a stop is triggered when a Stock's Price (low, high, open or close as selected by the user) crosses above/below (as selected by the user) a Moving Average (EMA, MA etc as selected by the user) please?

backtesting
I have been using the Back test facility for some time now and would offer some observations and comment that I feel might improve the understanding and use of this tool.
There is a possibility that members could be confused between the terminology of a HOLDING in a portfolio and the number of positions within a holding.
You use the term POSITION in the MORE SETTINGS tab where I think you mean HOLDINGs
…When the options are positioned NOT to restrict further investments in a company, multiple positions can arise in one HOLDING. A breakdown of the portfolio clearly shows

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…

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?
