Have an option to have the "Include dates beyond the end of the backtest" box always checked
Have an option to have the "Include dates beyond the end of the backtest" box always checked.
This would make it a lot easier and faster to step a backtest forward everyday. It gets annoying having to select that box every time.

In order to Cherry Pick, allow for the backtester to halt when portfolio loses a position.
To backtest the "Cherry Picking with CI Up and Comers" SOTW, the backtester would need to halt when the number of positions < the normal portfolio size. Cherry Picking is a GREAT method that VV does not currently support. VV would create a tremendous marketing win by publishing the incredible gains possible using the above-mentioned SOTW.

Don't rebalance portfolio
When a stock is sold, everything gets sold then is reinvested in many of the stocks that were just sold but rebalanced. This way the best performing stocks are reduced and worst performing are increased. Also, % stop losses are reset when they shouldn't be.

BackTest Graph
Add the ability to overlay MTI onto a backtest graph, so one can more easily see how the backtest compares to the overall market.

BackTester Parameter Comparisons
When I work on a succession of backtests, changing one parameter at a time, I soon lose track of what I did, and it's not possible to tell from the current listing of backtests how they vary. I would like to be able to see a chart of the parameters used in each backtest for comparative purposes, as in spreadsheet form, either in the existing display, or a report or spreadsheet export. As it is, one has to be very inventive with the names or keep a spreadsheet on the side, all of which takes a lot of time.

Backtester Report with Running Gain/Loss
I' like to be able to produce a report from a backtest that shows the developing gain or loss over time by day, week, month or year. The Transactions report doesn't suffice, because it doesn't show gain or loss and can't be exported to a spreadsheet. It's also not day, week or month oriented. I would also like to see at least a monthly or annual report of gains and losses in the Summary Report.

Add Timing Market column when printing backtests list
Since we can only print all of our backtests it would be nice to see what market timing was used for each test. Currently this market timing column does not show up when printing.

Close out position on same day as it reaches stop loss not the next opening
This makes a HUGE difference in overall performance over time. In the real world, we place stop losses so that we are taken out as quickly as possible and would not arbitrarily wait until the next morning before acting.

Make a change to %Gain/(loss) Stop criteria by allowing a stop loss in the loss criteria.
Right now if I enter 50/10 for gain/loss, I could potentially have a 60% drawdown. By allowing to distinguish between a loss from purchase price or a moving stop loss, I could navigate a severe stock correction.

Auto tester should reflect the so common amount of target % gain + %trailing stop. For instance take profit at 20% but trailing stop at 10

I'm using rt kicker combo with no stops and close all positions when criteria is met and keep top 8 stocks as quickly as possible.
I'm using rt kicker combo with no stops and close all positions when criteria is met and keep top 8 stocks as quickly as possible. This is a phenomenal strategy but the only possible drawback (I don't know because I can't backtetst the theory) is that it rebalances the portfolio as it replaces stocks that are no longer in the top 8 with their replacements. If we had 2 sales, I would like to take that cash only and buy the 2 new indicated purchases. That way, I'm not reducing the winners and increasing the losers.

Add Benchmark Performance (S&P500) column to the BackTester results
Performance of a given idea/strategy is more useful when compared to a benchmark so you can show that your approach will be more rewarding than simply indexing the S&P500.

Change backtest to make entries & exits easier
Rather than going through the current awkward system of buying and selling (or selling short & covering) and updating in a backtest, it would be much easier if we could just insert the dates into a grid that would generate the desired test. That would make testing my own timing system much faster and easier.

stop Criteria
I suggest to add a new stop to the backtester : a comination of X% gain and y% trailing loss stop( as opposed to regular loss) , to be triggered based on whichever incurs first.

Include the GREENLIGHT BUYER Timing List in the Simulator for VVPrographics 6. All the other timing lists are included. Needed for testing/optimizing VV7 Backtests using the Simulator. Can't be too hard to implement.
