When using the backtester there are many instances of selling a stock due to the stop criteria and then buying it again because it qualifies
Back tests should be prevented from selling and buying of the same stock on the same day. Perhaps a set number of trading days before it can qualify again.
2 votesLarry, try using the Limit Repurchsaes feature in the BackTester. You can set it to not purchase the same stock for the next # of days that you specify. It is under the More Settings tab in Automation Rules.

In Backtests, give option that restricts duplicates of closed positions too (a la wash sale rule).
When backtesting, replacement stocks in my tests are often the same stock so that I'd be trading the same stock several times within 30 days, often with losses I couldn't write off in real trading because of "wash sale" rule. Allow me to restrict buying closed positions to simulate real tax planning of trades.
3 votesThis feature exists in the More Settings tab of the BackTest Automation Rules.

Backtest Transactions
After running a backtest, the transaction log lists the Buys and Sells in batches, not in the order that they occured. A customer has requested that, if possible, this be listed in the order that it occured as it does not do so on the left under Status when the backtest is executed manually.

Closing Position and Buying from Search
On BackTest in VectorVest 7, there are 4 built-in choices to choose from in Market Timing List. But I miss the closing position and Buying from search option that we have in VV-usa. I'd like to use this option to get out and get-in in time of my own determiniation. We have better control of handling portfolio with this option.
Thank you.1 vote -

I would like to see a gain\loss stop criteria that allows for trailing stops. My broker can do this.
My brokers conditional stop triggers has an option to stop on a gain price or trailing stop %. I would like to have this option in back tests.

If i understand you correctly, you can accomplish this by unchecking ‘use market timing’ in the second step of the backtest wizard. doing so will give you just one set of automation rules, in which you can choose to buy long or sell short, thereby giving you a test where you’re always long or always short.

Market Timing in the VV7 Backtester
Thanks for Market timing in the backtester. But, it should be available to simulator users without having to purchase Real Time. It is a function of the Simulator, which will eventually be integrated into VV7. So it would be great allow your simulator users access to it...please.
Thanks1 vote -
Be able to backtest a strategy with Buying on Green Light
The Green Light buying approach has been promoted much this past year .. and for good reason. I would like to have this feature added so when backtesting you can set that you can buy only on a Green Light.

Backtest needs to test with a market timer, not over a single time period. Portfolio VV6 does this.
At the end of a backtest, the balance is reported, but not carried forward to the next signal.
9 votesMarket timing in the VV7 backtester for US markets has been released. RealTime subscribers have immediate access. Intraday subscribers can get a free 2-week trial.
