add ability to take profit on every stop besides just %G/L
%G/L is the only stop which allows taking a profit, why? RT<1 is a great stop, if I have a 50% Gain, I don't want to wait for the RT to go below one to be left with whatever profit may still be available, I want to take the 50% profit. Same applies to every stop in the program, why allow a good profit disappear by waiting to get stopped out? Is the name of the game taking profits or getting stopped out? This of course needs to be added in portfolios and backtest

VVC Stock history, removed
DO NOT remove the "history" of a stock's performance for those stocks that have been removed the VVC Database. By removing the history, you are skewing the results of the Simulator, a tool that I rely heavily upon.

Make Backtest sell at end of test period
Currently Backtest does not sell at end of test period - always uses current day close price info for the end date - not next day's open, if checked. Also, does not account for the broker charge on the final sell of the stock.

Add delisted and bought out stocks
Vectorvest does not contain historical information for stocks that we're traded but are now delisted. For example, try to find circut city (CC) in the historical database. For backtesting purposes it seems that this would be pertinent info. For example, screens that were run 5 years ago would show different results than the same screens run over the same time period today because today's database no longer contains some of those stocks.

Option to use and set as default - Buy at Next Day's Open and Sell at Next Day's Open
Back Test Option to use and set as default - Buy at Next Day's Open and Sell at Next Day's Open. It would produce much more realistic results than the Same Day Closes we are currently using.

Allow user defined "notes" fields in backtest chart.
As many as desired - to allow user selected sorts of backtest results. 3 should be plenty. Right now you can only create a field if it is a "formula"

Color Guard display for Date Line or Crosshair marker graph
Add a tiny Color Guard display (just the three colors) as you move the Date cursor or Crosshair cursor across a graph. This would help in backtesting or figuring out why a stock went with or against the general market.

BackTest Using a 30,60,90 day price perf. div. by ATR
Hi,
I would like to create a search and back test using a
30+60+90 day price performance divided by ATR or STDEV sorted in descending order.
Is there a way to do something like this or something which comes close to this concept?
I am missing ATR or any volatility function other than BB, do you plan to include this into the protrader?
Rgds
