  1. It would be great to see an index or the VVC graph alongside a back-test result graph so that we can see how our idea performed against the market at the time of the back-test. That would give more depth/proof to the back-test I'm thinking.
    Thanks

  3. I have run many different backtests and would like to be able to export the summary lines and manipulate the data in Excel so I can make graphs of the performance parameters and visualize which methodologies are most effective.

  5. Add capability to have customized/modified timing lists as in VV6. Such as Confirmed Signals with modifications for Bear Markets. i.e. 2008-9 2011 where one good ignore or delete Buy and Sell signals to stay in cash.

  8. Since Dr. D said there is NO model which will work all the time, it would be nice to be able to chart trendlines and use other market timing tools on the model's performance chart to help determine when it's time to abandon that model or start using it again.

  9. Better clarification is needed for the Backtester “Customized Trading System” rules for “Stop Criteria” of the “Trailing Stop” feature. Specifically, better wording is needed for the relationship between the 2 kinds of stop criteria:

    1. Trailing Stop percentage and
    2. Gain or Loss percentage

    The current wording says that the Gain or Loss is “optional” (provided 1 or 2 percentages are entered). New wording will to indicate that condition 1 or condition 2 will satisfy the stop, whichever occurs first. Not only should the wording be enhanced, but an enhancement of the display of the 2 features at the bottom left of…

  10. This would help the user to see under which conditions a search is optimal. It could also be used to compare results to the existing grouping by timing system.

  11. Commissions are accounted for in VV back testing, but not the cost of using the VV data. The last webinar had a 5 1/2 year backtest w/ $4500 worth of commissions, but no impact on results from VV costs of anywhere from $3000 to over $12000 depending on version and plug-ins. Could these costs be added to the Back Tester?

  12. I would like the auto tester to give a choice to autom add funds to any green light you're using, whether it's confirmed calls etc., to see how it would work out for periods of time. Say I'm using the conf calls, and I started my portf with 10G, when I'm setting the backtest, I'd like the system to be able to add $200 or whatever amount of your choice or no amount to whenever a green light confirmed call came, to see how that would play out over a period of time. I thought that would be a good…

  13. My best backtest strategy does great when confirmed up and terrible when confirmed down. Would like to test whether it is better to sell entire portfolio or hold until stop when a confirmed down is called. As a bonus: The ability to switch strategy with confirmed calls would be nice.

  15. 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

  16. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. It would be quite beneficial to users if some of the successful strategy searches presented in earlier SOTW sessions this year are tracked in the model portfolios with updated back tester results once per week. I notice that these strategies typically involve taking long positions only, and staying in cash on a Confirmed Down market call. Also, unsuccessful searches such as the RT Kicker Combo pair involving Blyar's Bottom Feeder should be removed from tracking.

  20. In the BackTester- I'd like several columns next to the start date and the end date- one to indicate C/UP or C/DN, and one to let me know what the MTI is on the start date and the end date.
