Creating my own "Derby" with Backtester
I am creating my own "Derby" with the backtester by setting up a standard template with a specified testing period then testing a set of popular searches with that template.
I am assembling the results into an Excel spreadsheet where I can run these backtests periodically (daily, weekly?) to see which of the selection of popular searches are doing the best - like the "Derby" module only under my control and with my own history.
This is very tedious and time consuming, however. It would be easy to program into the backtester module a feature that would permit user to…

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…

A search for stocks that may trend relative to holidays/calendar events with variable dates/times
Adding a rich calendar of holidays, earnings, macro-economic release dates and times, ex-dividend payouts, "last week of <month>" would allow searching and backtesting for stocks that have consistent behavior surrounding these events (e.g. Search for stocks that trend upward for the week each year prior to "US Thanksgiving" or "Good Friday", or stocks that drop and recover share price within 5 days of ex-dividend date or go up in the afternoon when "New Home Sales" are reported positively in the morning). Allow these event markers to be stop criteria as well.

Notify users of system maintenance
If the system is undergoing maintenance or there are system problems that impact users (particularly on the weekend) please provide notice to the users when they sign in. In this way users can choose to undertake their studies at another time or at least better understand why the system is not working at peak performance.

Search for sawtooth pattern
A search that would find stocks whose price history shows a SAWTOOTH pattern would be ideal for short-term traders. REPEATED, regular up and down motions are needed. Then the trader could buy at a bottom, ride the price up, sell at the top, short sell on the way down, and then REPEAT the process all over again. Present delta searches seem to find one-time price changes.
If I could find only ONE stock that showed such a pattern, I could become a millionaire in jig time.

An "Insert Comment" feature for every issue in a Watchlist.
I keep a Watchlist of all the stocks in my several brokerage accounts and also a Watchist of stocks I consider "Possibilities". It would be helpful if I could attach a note to each stock listed that showed the various reasons I bought it, the date and what my goal or thoughts were at the time (or who was the dumkof who recommended it).
This "Insert Comment" feature is available in Excel where I find it quite useful.1 vote -

Allow a subscriber to print out the parameters of a search within the Unisearch category. This would be very helpful, especially when developing your own searches. This used to be available in Prographics 6.0.

Add new stock - AAL, to replace LCC
LCC has become AAL, following a merger of U.S.Air with American Airlines. As it is a fairly large part of two differant portfolios I have, I would certainly appreciate your fine system actuating this change. Thank you for your consideration.
