Add per share/per trade commission combinations and conditions in Backtest
Many brokers use combos of charges and conditions to charge for trades. For example, Optionshouse charges $3.95 per trade, but adds $.005 per share for the entire order for stocks under $2 that are non-optionable. It would be great if this could be configured in a Backtest.

Trailing RT Stop
As a backtester, I would like to set a Trailing RT Stop, so that i can trigger a sale before round-tripping the trade back to "even."
I think a Trailing RT Stop is far more valuable than the current "RT < n" stop. An example would be "Stop if Trailing RT delta is at least 0.50". For a long position, this closes if RT drops by at least 0.50 from peak. For a short position, close if RT rises at least 0.50 from trough.

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."

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.
