  1. VV deletes tests (randomly?) after ~500. There needs to be an option (even at a slight $premium) to increase the allotted tests or allow export/import of results and settings.

  3. I have a large number of backtests that I run. I would like to be able to make change of the end test date and then run the test.

  5. An important issue for me is always would I be better off trading this system over this time frame vs buying the market. Please add a buy & hold equity curve for the SPY or VVC to the backtest results to help with that evaluation.

  8. When back testing an idea be able to say I only want to buy if the market is up on a particular day. This would be in a confirmed up condition. If it was a confirmed up condition and the market was down on a given day, I might want to refrain from buying on that day. Same for a down market - I might not want to short on an up day.

  9. It would be great if we could use a simple or weighted MA for stop criteria in our back tests. If it were set up just the way it is in the graphs you could select either simple or weighted, and then adjust the days to match the moving average you were wanting to test.

  10. I find VV a powerful platform in terms of allowing the mix of fundamentals and technicals for creating a search or a backtest.
    Unfortunately, the lack of a 'scripting language' to create more complex backtests is not available. This allows only the backtest of very basic strategies since you lack more powerful programming statements like if..then..else, switch... case.. etc. Some indicators in Protrader allow for only a selection from a list which is an unnecessary limitation.

    I would like to have a 'scripting language' capability maybe even in a well known language like C# for example. I believe this would…

  12. A trading system that works for a $100,000 portfolio may not work well for a $10,000 portfolio. Suppose you usually want to backtest using an account size and commission rate that match your own account. Right now you have to change these account values each time you run a backtest. If the user could set different default values (instead of the current defaults of $100,000 account size and $9.95 per trade), it would save time and effort when running a series of backtests. Thanks!

  13. 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

  14. I would like to see in the Bactester the following: now the backtester is created on DAILY basis.

    I ask you to give me the choice also for the Backtest WEEKLY and END OF WEEK, like I see in GRAPH-item.

  17. 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.

  19. I'd like a one hour webinar on how to use the backtester. They go over using the backtester in webinars for 5 minutes, but that's not enuf for me.

  20. I would like to run a backtest where it takes profit (closes trade) at an exact percentage of profit and where it will take a stop loss at end of day price or opening of next day price. I see huge differences here between the stop loss and the take profit percentages over a year long backtest.
