In backtesting, need option to sell at trailing stop price
At the moment you cannot exit a position at the trailing stop but rather at the close or next days average, which is always higher or lower than the trailing stop. This is not an accurate representation of real life as normally the position would be closed at the trailing stop.

add backtesting of certain times. ie run search at 10am of search and see what it did hours later
Allow backtesting of times not just end of day data. I want to do a search at 10 am and see what the stock did minutes or hours, days later. not just end of the day.

Back Testing Data Availability
In back testing on 6/20/10 w/ VV 7 Intraday, I can only back test up to Wednesday, 6/16/10 instead the weekend (6/18/10). I want to do back testing to get ready for Monday's market. I can do better using the ProGraphics, except for some of the searches are not available. When I selected VV7 Intraday, I was told the data was 15 minutes behind real time. Now I am told that it will not be available until Tue 6/22/10 (6 days later!!!). This is a serious handicap and should be resolved ASAP.

backtesting individual stocks in VV7
To backtest individual stocks in VV7 you have to create a watchlist and then create a search that equals your watchlist. It is great that we can backtest a search but it would be great to have the ability to backtest existing watchlists and to create your own list of stocks inside the backtest tab of VV7.

BUG in REC=S for 2 weeks
I backtested a portfolio (using Stalwarts) with long STOP at REC=S for 2 weeks. Looking at the stocks which were stopped-out, and the history of the stocks, they were stopped at less than 2 wks. Please fix.

Backtest Graph - shown as it would have appeared on a given date, automatically.
When I run a search for backtesting purposes, it would be helpful if the graph would default to that specific date. Example - run a search for stocks on 1/3/07 - graph should appear as it would have on 1/3/07 not as of today's date.

Add additional portfolio backtesting stops and buy conditions for portfolio.
Add a stop parameter to allow for conditional triggers - a 10% daily loss or 10% from the purchase price, 10% off the purchase price or 15% from the previous high or some other combination.
Allow for C/UP, C/DN, UPUP, UPDN, DNUP, DNDN to be additional conditions of buy or sell - ie. only execute the buy strategy during C/UP when the primary wave is UP.

Create Stop Loss Strategy: Buy 10 -- Hold 15
I would like to have a new Stop Loss Strategy that would enable me to buy the top 10 stocks from a given strategy and hold them until they fall out of the top 15. This would enable me to continually upgrade my portfolio without excessive whipsaw trading. I would particularly like to have the capability of testing this new stop loss feature in the VV Simulator.
