Performance of model portfolios using MTI MA crossovers
Since the Sure Fire Success trading system was developed using the RT kicker combo signals, no new combo pairs have been introduced for a long while using this system. I can understand this since the long-term market trend has stayed bullish, so the focus has shifted to mainly bullish strategies (using primarily confirmed up/down signals)shown in SOTW sessions during most of this year. These strategies tend to have much smaller max. drawdowns and less frequent trades.
Has there been any research done on back tests of the SFS model portfolios currently being tracked by VV using MTI MA crossovers instead…

Add more historical data to BackTester
Would you please consider adding more historical price data to the BackTester, along with the corresponding VectorVest timing signals (C/UP, C/DN, etc.)?
More historic data will help test ideas across a broader variety of market conditions and avoid curve-fitting problems.

Have an option to have the "Include dates beyond the end of the backtest" box always checked
Have an option to have the "Include dates beyond the end of the backtest" box always checked.
This would make it a lot easier and faster to step a backtest forward everyday. It gets annoying having to select that box every time.

BackTester Parameter Comparisons
When I work on a succession of backtests, changing one parameter at a time, I soon lose track of what I did, and it's not possible to tell from the current listing of backtests how they vary. I would like to be able to see a chart of the parameters used in each backtest for comparative purposes, as in spreadsheet form, either in the existing display, or a report or spreadsheet export. As it is, one has to be very inventive with the names or keep a spreadsheet on the side, all of which takes a lot of time.

Backtester Report with Running Gain/Loss
I' like to be able to produce a report from a backtest that shows the developing gain or loss over time by day, week, month or year. The Transactions report doesn't suffice, because it doesn't show gain or loss and can't be exported to a spreadsheet. It's also not day, week or month oriented. I would also like to see at least a monthly or annual report of gains and losses in the Summary Report.

Close out position on same day as it reaches stop loss not the next opening
This makes a HUGE difference in overall performance over time. In the real world, we place stop losses so that we are taken out as quickly as possible and would not arbitrarily wait until the next morning before acting.

Make a change to %Gain/(loss) Stop criteria by allowing a stop loss in the loss criteria.
Right now if I enter 50/10 for gain/loss, I could potentially have a 60% drawdown. By allowing to distinguish between a loss from purchase price or a moving stop loss, I could navigate a severe stock correction.

Change backtest to make entries & exits easier
Rather than going through the current awkward system of buying and selling (or selling short & covering) and updating in a backtest, it would be much easier if we could just insert the dates into a grid that would generate the desired test. That would make testing my own timing system much faster and easier.

equity draw down as a stop
To expand on the http://feedback.vectorvest.com/forums/35189-vectorvest-7/suggestions/2558843-the-ability-to-superimpose-a-graph-of-the-vvc-upo idea: give us the ability to use a user-defined parabolic stop on the equity curve in back-testing and portfolio as the basis for discontinuing a current strategy IN ADDITION TO existing stop criteria.

Delete Pending Order in BackTests
If a backtest has a pending order that includes a stock I don't want, I want to be able to remove that stock from the list and have the backtester replace it with the next stock in line.
