better VV7 backtest reports
Currently the Report available for VV7 backtests are pretty pitiful. I know you are working hard to improve VV7. The backtest reports need to be as complete as they are in the Simulator.

user-defined market timing list
Allow users to import their own timing list rather than just using built-in lists of Confirmed, DEW, Primary Wave, Green Light. These user-defined timing signals could be used in graphs as well as in the backtester. The user-defined list could be for MACD, Cook's Candles, or any other list created externally by the user. The data could just be a comma delimited file with "name" "up,down,neutral" signals & dates.

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.

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.

Open/ Close
In Vectorvest 6 you had the option to buy at the open and sell at the close, or buy at the close and sell at the open, etc.
In Vestorvest 7 you must buy and sell at the same time, buy/sell at close, buy/sell at open.
Is it possible to have the VV6 flexibility put into VV7 ? I really need it for the type of backtesting I do.

DEW system for backtest using user specified symbol with VVC as default
Currently the Detrended price oscillator and moving average for the VVC is used in backtesting. It would be great to have this as a default, but be able as a user to override this and enter IWM if I am testing a small cap strategy, or GDX if I am testing a strategy that focuses on precious metals stocks. Let me pick a symbol for the DEW entry/exits that represents the class of stocks my strategy is working with!

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
