Export Pending Orders
Please make the "pending orders" list exportable (via copy/paste; print, email etc.). I know I can use the snipping tool, but that's far from convenient. I'd like to get a list of the next days trades that I can take to work to execute the next day or email to my broker for them to execute.

Add search filter to Backtest List in Backtester
Currently we have the ability to group backtests. But when you have a long list of backtests (I currently have over 500), it can take a long time to find one. So a useful feature would be a filter where user can search by 1. name (user types in a word and the filter finds all tests matching) 2. start date , the application will automatically find the bactests grouped by this start date (so user doesn't have to scroll up and down to find the required date) 3. end date (same logic as for start date).

Ability to manually update auto test recommendations with actual shares and prices
I am trying to use autotest to automate my buy/sell decisions. The tool would be more useful if you could update the recommendations with the actual shares and prices rather than the next day open or average depending on the option you have selected.

Backtest menu when grouped such as upsearch, Consider saving my settings. Everytime I sign on I have to select the upsearch and sort by my preferred sorting. this is a bit of a time waster.
I'd like to sign on and see my backtests saved as I set, (ie., upsearch then sorted by either name or %GL)1 vote -

There is a bug in backtester. When I step the test period forward one day at a time It does not detect a CDn and does not go to cash. If I back up a few days and then let it calculate forward those few days all at once it does detect the CDn and goes to cash.

Add delay purchase to When Opening Positions in Backtester
Currently we can step into the market by opening X positions per day until we reach total positions. I would like to add the option to delay X days before executing this logic. In manual testing of the DEW signal I have greatly reduced Max Drawdown using a delay while maintaining good gains.

Add new Transaction Type to BackTester Reports
Add a Transaction Type column to all reports in Auto BackTester to show the reason for each transaction listed. Show Stop Loss Actions like Met Stop X% Gain or Met Stop X% Loss etc. Also Show Timing Signal Changed to C/Dn or C/Up or Neutral depending on Market Timing Signal used for Backtest.
Overall I want to know what triggered the transaction.1 vote -
Try to Maintain <condition> for Backtested Portfolio
The Backtester already has the ability to "maintain <n> positions."
I am suggesting that the test may also be configured to maintain some (one) measure at the time of making a purchase decision.
Example: "Try to maintain RV > 1.00"
Sometimes, it is correct to buy-in to a stock with RV < 1. But, the prudent investor needs to avoid collecting too many RV<1. The portfolio should be evaluated as a whole (I know the concept of viewing the average of the portfolio can be found in presentations).
The same could be said for RT. If current positions have suddenly…

Create a table of dates and NAVs for back tests that can be exported to excel
If the dates and NAVs of back-tests could be exported to excel then users would be able to create a spreadsheet for each strategy. You could then calculate the volatility (standard deviation ) and calculate a risk return (sharpe) ratio for the strategy. Also you could combine the spreadsheets of different strategies to find a combination that gives the highest returns with the lowest risk (highest sharpe ratio).

backtester
It would really be great if you could allow the backtester, just like in the simulator, to allow buying stocks at days open, and selling them at close of the current day or the next day, and to allow selling them at next days open or next days average as well.

No Repurchases Market Timing Period
Would like to see the option in VV7 BackTester to not repurchase the same stocks during the Market Timing Period like in the Simulator under Money Management / Purchase Options. Not just limiting how many days before repurchase.

i would really really like to see a timing indicator of the primary wave macd added to market calls so i can back test with the auto tester.
i would really really like to see the primary wave macd timing calls added to the market calls so i can easly plot them and use these dates in my backtesting as this is how i trade.needed especially using auto tester then in my eyes vv7 would be perfect.

Back test covered call strategies
Vector Vest promotes covered call strategies a lot. I trade covered calls a lot but there is no way that I have found to back test a covered call strategy. Does VV have any plans to incorporate back testing for covered calls or collars?

backtest thru current date, current time of day
include the current day, current time, (as though it were end of day) not just the last real date with end of day information. As things now stand, backtest only runs thru the last completed day of trading.

Add per share/per trade commission combinations and conditions in Backtest
Many brokers use combos of charges and conditions to charge for trades. For example, Optionshouse charges $3.95 per trade, but adds $.005 per share for the entire order for stocks under $2 that are non-optionable. It would be great if this could be configured in a Backtest.

Trailing RT Stop
As a backtester, I would like to set a Trailing RT Stop, so that i can trigger a sale before round-tripping the trade back to "even."
I think a Trailing RT Stop is far more valuable than the current "RT < n" stop. An example would be "Stop if Trailing RT delta is at least 0.50". For a long position, this closes if RT drops by at least 0.50 from peak. For a short position, close if RT rises at least 0.50 from trough.

Add "No new positions" to Backtest
In back-testing, add a feature that prevents new positions.
My use case is one that watches some technical indicator on the market, which is more precise than VV market timing signals. For example, "Don't open any new long position if MTI < 1.05".
Currently, I build a search that I know will yield zero results. I modify the back-test to use that search until the condition changes.
If this feature were implemented, the back-test would only have to evaluate stop criteria until the constraint was lifted. It would bypass running searches until the back-tester stopped, and the constrant "unchecked."
