Try to Maintain <condition> for Backtested Portfolio
The Backtester already has the ability to "maintain <n> positions."
I am suggesting that the test may also be configured to maintain some (one) measure at the time of making a purchase decision.
Example: "Try to maintain RV > 1.00"
Sometimes, it is correct to buy-in to a stock with RV < 1. But, the prudent investor needs to avoid collecting too many RV<1. The portfolio should be evaluated as a whole (I know the concept of viewing the average of the portfolio can be found in presentations).
The same could be said for RT. If current positions have suddenly…

Back-Testing -- Add more exit choices
Allow more exit options such as: 1) entering on a DEW signal but exiting on a confirmed signal or 2) exit after x days in the trade or 3) entering on a pro-trader signal such as a MACD cross-over and then exiting on a confirmed signal.

Enable use of different timing signals for up and down calls
In AutoTester, allow for the ability to use different timing signals to drive up and down calls. For instance, allow for the use of the DEW on the up side and the Primary Wave on the down side.

Create a table of dates and NAVs for back tests that can be exported to excel
If the dates and NAVs of back-tests could be exported to excel then users would be able to create a spreadsheet for each strategy. You could then calculate the volatility (standard deviation ) and calculate a risk return (sharpe) ratio for the strategy. Also you could combine the spreadsheets of different strategies to find a combination that gives the highest returns with the lowest risk (highest sharpe ratio).

backtester
It would really be great if you could allow the backtester, just like in the simulator, to allow buying stocks at days open, and selling them at close of the current day or the next day, and to allow selling them at next days open or next days average as well.

There should be a way to export data from the backtest section of the program without having to print the info.
When accessing the backtest section you can have a list of results from previous backtests. We should be able to export those results to an excel spreadsheet so that we can do further analysis of our results.

No Repurchases Market Timing Period
Would like to see the option in VV7 BackTester to not repurchase the same stocks during the Market Timing Period like in the Simulator under Money Management / Purchase Options. Not just limiting how many days before repurchase.

Limit Investment Percentage In Back-Test, AutoTester
Allow back-testing to limit the portfolio amount to be invested. This would be useful for users of AutoTester, as well as those who execute tests manually.
For example: "During Confirmed Up, I want to ramp up to 100% invested. During Confirmed Down, I still want to buy long (?from a short ETFs list?), but only maintain positions up to 50% invested."
There are currently these two mutually exclusive choices:
( ) Invest all buying power
(O) Invest average portfolio valueI am suggesting a cap, by which these two are constrained:
Limit overall portfolio exposure to [______] %If I…

Enter My Own Stock Symbols & Prices and Backtest Sell Strategy only.
I have a history of my purchases and would like to test sell strategies. I would like to just add a symbol and date and purchase price. Then test sell strategies on all stocks. i.e., % trailing stops. Also like the idea of selling at the stop price if it traded there, not at the close or open.

Different Backtesting - Enter Stock Buy Info (no search) and use Trailing Stop Price as Sell Price (not closing price).
Different Backtesting
I would like to enter my own stocks by symbol and date (no searches).Would also like to have the sell price be the actual Trailing Stop Price (if it traded there that day) - Much like if it was a market order and was executed @ that price immediately. The closing price is not where I would sell nor is the average or opening.

Add max %Gain over backtest period in the summary table, not just %G/L on the end date
Add max %Gain over backtest period in the summary table of My Backtests, not just the %G/L on the end date. This would allow for a quick and valuable comparison of different backtests without having to look at each graph. The peak is most important, not just the final value.

Back test covered call strategies
Vector Vest promotes covered call strategies a lot. I trade covered calls a lot but there is no way that I have found to back test a covered call strategy. Does VV have any plans to incorporate back testing for covered calls or collars?

backtest thru current date, current time of day
include the current day, current time, (as though it were end of day) not just the last real date with end of day information. As things now stand, backtest only runs thru the last completed day of trading.
