9/18/2012 9:03:05 PM Is there a setting to color code the backtest TRADES tab like the old system did? I can see the really small cell borders that are red and green, but they are very hard to read. The statistics page is beautiful and very readable. Can the TRADES tab be set up that way? |

9/19/2012 1:12:56 AM I agree with this fact the new backtest trades tab shows no color that the normal eye can see. Every cell to my eye shows black and white. The "old backtest version and working well" trades tab had its cells in vivid color green and red. It's amazing to me how StockFetcher's designers redesign their system then push it out to we the users showing problems that exist to which was not present in the older version. What ever happened to testing the latest version first before you release it out? I know StockFetcher must be hurting for qualified personnel to produce quality work when you see a newer version namely this backtest version with glaring problems. There are other problems I will need to discuss with them hopefully for them to improve upon. |

9/19/2012 3:09:37 PM Thank you StockFetcher staff. The colors are back and it makes me happy. Yes, if and when I find problems with the softwear I will not hesitate to get your opinion / action on the subject. |

9/19/2012 4:33:07 PM The addition of commissions and net profit over the backtest period on the main page. Thumbs up. Can we enter at the end of the day the signal is triggered? This has been a chronic issue with the old system, and while I know there are workarounds a simple check box here would be helpful. I also like the random selection ability on the trades entered. |

9/19/2012 5:26:08 PM To enter on the "Match Date" simply check the box: "Use Trigger Close" on the "Advanced" tab when configuring your test.

9/21/2012 8:04:06 AM Hi, The annualized ROI metric is not tied to your cash/equity settings and attempts to provide a method of comparing performance across different tests regardless of how the cash/equity portion is configured. Annualized Return on Investment(ROI): Multiply the average gain/loss by the ratio of the number of days in a year and average days held per trade. http://help.stockfetcher.com/sfhelp/?id=100292 StockFetcher Support |
