I would like to see an stop option for a close below a highest stop for long positions and above a lowest stop for short positions. This would have to be coupled with a rule that the buy/sell price does not violate the stop criteria

Can you take all the Back Test settings from all the strategy presentations and place them in one convenient place on the web site or the VectorVest platform? It would make it easier to find the Back
Test settings.

Since I am very new I am not talking about the VectorVes7t system, I am talking about the envelope around the system.
One of the biggest shortcoming is the inability for the end user to produce printouts. I am trying to learn the system and printouts of various subjects would really help me a lot.
I would be very happy to see an improvement in that area.

Dr.Dilido advocates waiting until 1 hour after exchange open before buying/selling in order to allow any frenzies to be revealed and/or to assess market trend. However, Dr.Dilido's guidance is not reflected as an option in the back-test simulations, instead it has only to buy at market open...contrary to Dilido's advice. Please include an additional option to simulate with a one-hour delay and then to follow simulation rules. Thanks

When back test done, if the stock listed in bse and nse, same stocks is selected from both nse and bse. it should take only one exchange. in simple avoid adding same scrip twice in back test search. today when I did one test I found sks micro selected both from bse and nse out of 10 stocks

Since these were very bad years it would be nice to see what a backtest would look like using the Midas Touch watchlist for these years. Today the watchlist only shows stocks back through 2009.

Please put an option in the autotester "other settings" screen for a 1% of portfolio value limit per position.

i would very much like to have available a minimum of 30 days intraday data for backtesting, 5 days of data is not sufficient for successful backtesting. this will allow me to stay a vectorvest customer. thank you

In the Reports section of the Backtester, under Summary report, there are 2 pie charts that are nicely supplied showing:
a) Current Positions by Symbol and
b) Current positions by Industry
These are great to ensure diversification but I wonder- for easier comparison if:
-you could match the colors so that the stock and sector it belongs to are the same color. It would be quicker and easier to read- apple to apples?
Many thanks for the consideration

It would be great to see an index or the VVC graph alongside a back-test result graph so that we can see how our idea performed against the market at the time of the back-test. That would give more depth/proof to the back-test I'm thinking.
Thanks

Allow user “custom field definitions” to be used as stop criteria in BackTester.

I have run many different backtests and would like to be able to export the summary lines and manipulate the data in Excel so I can make graphs of the performance parameters and visualize which methodologies are most effective.

To help clubs judge the variance between daily monitoring/action on stop positions and just deciding at dates of meetings

I am trying to find a filter that will generate the most income per year from stocks that payout regular dividends. I know ETF are hard to get dividend payout information, but most other stocks provide this information.

Add capability to have customized/modified timing lists as in VV6. Such as Confirmed Signals with modifications for Bear Markets. i.e. 2008-9 2011 where one good ignore or delete Buy and Sell signals to stay in cash.

Since Dr. D said there is NO model which will work all the time, it would be nice to be able to chart trendlines and use other market timing tools on the model's performance chart to help determine when it's time to abandon that model or start using it again.
