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."

Allow Backtest to be Re-Run on Search Change
If a backtest is completed, and the search parameters/sort is modified, the backtest is not enabled to be re-run (Finish and Rerun). Some change must be made to the backtest parms, or a complete BT copy must be made.
Sometimes, I am able to manually re-run to the start date, then push the Run To bar to the end date. This tends to produce execution failure messages.
It seems that a back test defintion would know the last update timestamp of its currently selected search, and treat that as a re-runnable change.
Other than that, a brute-force Rerun command would…

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.

For BackTests, add sorts by date (created/last modf'd) to assist in maintaining/updating large lists
As a start to better managing 250 backtests, being able to sort them by date "last modified" would be useful in identifying those of most interest

No volume, VV 7 purchases anyway
If you use purchase on next days open, VV 7 will still buy the stock, even if there is no volume. I tried vol > 0, but that doesn't work on the next days' open purchase. In this search, I preferred not to use a 50 day average amount of volume. Example, GLBZ on 12/23/10. I think VV 7 needs to have a default setting built in, to not buy when there is no volume.

Access Views from BackTest
Would you please add to the backtesting the ability to check the views on the day that the stop criteria is met.
You already indicate it is a good criteria to check if you were to reinvest today, so isn't it natural to have this capability when back testing?I have discovered with the old Vector Vest that selling the whole portfolio when you have two red lights can significantly
improve investing success. But this cannot be done with the new software.1 vote
