BackTest breakdown: After running a backtest over several confirmed ups, I'd like to be able to break it down into each specific c/u
I recently ran a backtest from 1996-2016 covering 58 confirmed ups. In order to see the graph of each confirmed up individually, I had to run each test individually. Could a feature be added to BackTester that would allow any individual backtest, likely based on date, to be seen individually?

stop criteria using rule parameters
Use the rule parameters to trigger the Stop Criteria in BackTester; when the rule is selecting the top n number of stocks, and during the test period a stock no longer meets the rule parameters. A simple example would be Select the 10 top stocks sorted by Price descending, and trigger a sell when a stock no longer conforms (is not in the top 10) and buy the new top 10 stock to replace it.

Integrate color guard timing recommendations in backtester or allow nested timing signals
When using the longer term timing signals, I would like to be able to tell the backtester to not purchase new positions when the shorter term signals are down. For instance, if using the confirmed calls timing system I'd like to not purchase positions when the primary wave is down even though the confirmed call is still up. It would be nice to be able to do this in any combination of signals, but certainly we should be able to simulate the color guard recommendation (which seems to be in large part based on the primary wave).

Provide a printed list the on and off dates of confirmed calls, primary wave, DEW, etc.
This would give us the ability to back test many ideas that may not be in VV by using EXCEL or other software. I'd like to back test ideas like going long at a DEW buy signal and sell at a CC sell signal. If VV has that ability please let me know.

Make Back Tester use Price - Actual for split stocks
Seems like it would be more accurate if VV7 back tester used Price - Actual instead of price for stocks that have split.
Would have to add fields for actual close, open, high, and low price so that VV7 could get an actual average price (Next Day’s Average) or actual open price (Next Day’s Open) for back tester.
Example: Low priced stocks that have split have a higher price but the price actual is the actual low price of the stock before it split. Back tester uses the higher split adjusted price when calculating initial cost. In most cases this…

Allow different timing signals for entry and exit
For instance; conservative entry at C/Up and quicker exit at DEW down. I notice that the C/Dn allows too much loss

Run autotester like the VectorVest stock challange -- buy Monday open and sell Friday close
Select a unisearch and turn off market timing
Have autotester buy stocks on Monday at open
Have autotester hold those stocks for one week and sell on Friday at close
Then repeat those steps for the time period chosen for the test -- at least a few years.
This is how the VectorVest Stock Challenge works.

Use the genius to back-test our present portfolios.
This would give us a way to see "what if" we had our present positions and as the price hit our stop criteria we replaced it with a stock from the Uni-search list.

Improve Limit Repurchases Setting Feature and Wording
The Limit Repurchases settings needs to be improved:
1. Improve the feature:
Currently: it will simply not repurchase any stock in the number of days whether you had a loss or a gain. The Wash Sale rule only applies to losses.
Future: allow the limit repurchases of losses only in the number of days. There is no need to limit repurchases of stock with gains. better still, make a checkbox for each and users can choose.- Improve the wording: Currently: there is confusion amongst subscribers and support staff about the wording "Don't repurchase the same stock for 30 days after…

Stop Criteria.
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

Backtest Settings
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

VectorVest has an overall problem delivering printed information. Here's one suggestion: Printing my 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.1 vote -
stop ascending sort nnnnnnnnnnnnn
Our User Group discovered that the Stop Price used for stop ascending sorts is based on the Split-Adjusted Stock Price, not the Actual Stock Price. This distorts the back tests done with such searches.
Let's take an example. If you run stop ascending search on February 19, 2010, the number two stock that pops up on the list is VFC, and that is one of the stocks that the back tester would have bought on the following Monday if you started using this system on 2/19/10. If you graph it, you will see a Stop Price on that date for…

Potfolio back test shows same stock of bse and nse
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

Is it possible to add years 2007 & 2008 to the "Midas Touch" watchlist?
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

In Reports: Match stock pie chart colors to the accompanying Industry pie chart so they re the same, side by side
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 consideration1 vote -
Could we have a way to put an index /VVC graph on parallel to a backtest that we have run so we can see the backtest rea-time performance
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
