In the backtester allow a different setting for a neutral after an up signal and a neutral after a down signal.
Allow a different settings for neutrals after an up signal and after a down signal. This would be useful when testing shorts and contra ETFs which often perform better contrary to the direction of the market.

I agree with this one.
Under the backtest/portfolio models, can you consider allowing the user to create an additional Automation Rule(s) for previous conditions
i. Up
ii. Down
iii. NeutralTherefore, we could have up to three different actions in the Neutral state depending on whether the previous state was Up, Down, or Neutral.
When I do my backtests/create portfolios, I would prefer to pick a different search and when entering this situation close/open positions differently depending on whether the market is transitioning from an Up, Down, or still in a neutral state. i believe that this would greatly approve the ARR/CROR of backtests/portfolios with this flexibility.
