Add RS as a Stop criteria on a sliding scale like RT & VST are listed

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.

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.

If we were able to use a period of time as a stop criteria for the back tester we could rebalance our portfolio on a weekly or monthly basis with the current top stocks from a search. Any stocks that dropped from the top ten list would be sold and new replacements would be purchased from the current top ten stocks in the search.

Hi. Quite often, when the market is about to head lower, the folks who give the Daily Color Guard presentations talk about tightening up your stops. However, the backtester doesn't allow for this option, other than doing it manually, which would be really tedious for any extended length of backtest. In addition to Buy Long, Sell Short, Go to Cash, or No Action, it would be extremely helpful to have the option of tightening the stops on what's currently in your portfolio. Thanks!

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.

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!

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.

dividends greatly impact performance, otherwise, present system

USING THE CONFIRM UP WITH A PORTFOLIO USING STOP 25% GAIN &10% LOSS ON THE UP SIGNAL. ON THE CONFIRM DOWN USING THE SAME PORTFOLIO DON'T BUY NEW POSITIONS BUT DON'T SELL JUST TIGHTEN MY STOP TO 10% GAIN & 5% LOSS AS EXAMPLE. THANKS

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.

Can we add into Backtester a stop functionality whereby a stop is triggered when a Stock's Price (low, high, open or close as selected by the user) crosses above/below (as selected by the user) a Moving Average (EMA, MA etc as selected by the user please?

It would be great to be able to create a custom timing system to back test strategies. For example, I'd like to use an MTI moving average crossover to test various strategies.

Backtester and Genius need to have an option to protect profits.

For example, say the criteria is 50% profit & 10% loss and you have unrealized 40% profit. There should be an automatic method to trigger a sale to protect the profits before incurring 10% loss during a downturn. Perhaps a option to sell when 50% of the gain is lost or a trigger based on Moving Average Stop.

I discussed in Tampa with Dr DiLiddo and he agreed this should be an option.
