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.

Calculated Turnover for Back-Test or Portfolio
It would be useful, especially for those who don't want to flip stocks often, to include a "turnover" calculation as part of a Back-Test.
While this can be approximated by the number of trades, the duration of the test is also a factor. 10 trades over 100 days is very different from 10 trades over 20 days.
If there is no obvious turnover calculation, an "average days held", for all positions taken during the test, would suffice.
Max draw-down is a measure of how much pain one may have to tolerate. A turnover measure would be a measure of portfolio…

Include dividend Yield in Backtests and Portfolio Growth
For my long stocks I would like to see an option in the Backtest as well as the Portfolio that automatically calculates the Dividend Yield and re-invests that yeild into the stock. I believe this will more accurately portray my portfolio and backtests, especially in my long searches/tests.

Backtest: one-click Test Periods
Would appreciate one-click selection of common Test Periods, e.g. week, month, quarter, year, which would auto-calculate either the corresponding start date or end date.

Add %G/L to each security in BackTest Transaction Log
On VectorVest 7 Intraday, at the backtest section add the %G/L on each of the securities once you open the transaction log. Currently, you get the %G/L for the whole portafolio, but not for each security.

Access Views from BackTest
Would you please add to the backtesting the ability to check the views on the day that the stop criteria is met.
You already indicate it is a good criteria to check if you were to reinvest today, so isn't it natural to have this capability when back testing?I have discovered with the old Vector Vest that selling the whole portfolio when you have two red lights can significantly
improve investing success. But this cannot be done with the new software.1 vote -

Subject: ATTN: BRYAN BARNES (Thread:78419)In the backtest, I am still seeing a yellow green number for the GAIN/LOSS, and the ARR. This is still difficult to see. You helped me change the colors elsewhere in the V.V.7 but I can not find out how to change this color.
