I strongly agree. I am finding that the backtest tool is almost useless for me because it's stop criteria cannot be set to match closely what I would actually do. When I analyze the results of a backtest to find out why it performed the way it did I often find stocks held beyond where I would have exited since my other criteria are ignored. I do not just have exclusively one exit criteria. There should be a way to add multiple stop criteria

This option in the unisearch tool would greatly assist in manually backtesting an investment strategy using a specific search criteria. A right-click option should allow you to choose an existing portfolio & then bring up the "Add a trade" dialog box - it could then auto-enter (default) the stock symbol & date of trade from the date in the unisearch screen. I am testing a new strategy & manually going back in time to test out. I tried the Backtester but cannot get the enter/exit strategies to properly match what I would manually do based on visualizing the graphs. It currently takes a long time to manually switch screens for all the stock trades - adding this option would save significant time overall for backtesting.
I also agree. I feel it would be best to add through the configure button - add a selection option to add/remove some desired Market Timing related columns/fields to the Colour Guard, but having DEW already appear beside the "Call" Column by default would be best. I feel all the Market timing based fields should be options to add (DEW Up/Down, GLB/RT Kicker Up/Down/Neutral, etc)
