And a possibility to pause and resume backtests. Now PRT loggs you out every 12h. When it does so it stops all tests and all is lost. This practically limits the backtest time to 12h. It is impossible to run tests that take longer than 12h which is especially with WF-tests not very long.
Another function that I often are missing is the possibility to
- export all customized settings from Demo to live and vice versa; drawings, chart, indicators, proorders, proscreeners..etc.,
- Alarms set in Proorder is pushed to mobile device

-> preserve code indentation when copy/paste outside of the platform! 🙂

I suggest that the TIMEFRAME keyword be matched by ENDTF (or ENDTIMEFRAME) keyword, just like IF …. ENDIF, to make sure that if someone forgets to use again TIMEFRAME to return to the original time frame, a warning is issued.
In the below example from PRT documentation, if the second TIMEFRAME is forgotten, the screener will yield erratic results. Warning about a missing matching ENDTF might help realize there is some unwanted logic error:
123456789101112131415REM Condition 1 and 2: MACD weekly < 0 and increasingTIMEFRAME(weekly)MyMACD = MACD[12,26,9](Close)c1 = MyMACD < 0 AND MyMACD > MyMACD[1]REM Condition 2: Daily Stochastic < 30TIMEFRAME(daily)MySTO = Stochastic[14,3](Close)c2 = MySTO < 30REM Set Stop LevelMyStop = High[1]REM Criteria: Proximity to the high of the previous dayCriteria = (Close / MyStop - 1) * 100REM Condition 3: Price is less than previous day's high or no more than 5% above it.c3 = Criteria < 5SCREENER[c1 AND c2 AND c3](Criteria)Would be very useful and less frustrating if there could be a single tick box to stop ALL Strategies from running (currently each Strategy has to be individually stopped).
There could be a tick option to stop only Strategies not showing a Position / Not Trading.

Optimizer – to show ALL the results, not just the top x results. Option to select how many results to view on one page – ie show me top 10, top 100 results.
Optimizer – to iterate through timeframes (temporal and non temporal) as well as through variables. Select in advance what timeframes to include.
Optimizer – ability to shift variables up and down in priority order
Optimizer – ability to iterate up and DOWN
Optimizer – option to change default sort to hit rate for example
Optimizer – to navigate more inteligently through iterations rather than a “brute force” / “dumb” style. Options to select iteration algorithm. There are many different algorithms you can use. For example to follow the profit trail – a “ripple” algorithm: If you had 4 variables to iterate through, select the mid point or starting point for 2, 3, 4 and iterate through 1. Select the most profitable point of variable (or best hit rate – option to select) 1. From there iterate through 2. Select the most profitable point of 1 and 2. Iterate through 3… and so on. After this is done, do it again, and again, and again. until the result can’t get better. Much faster and no need to try every single combination.

46/ Bring back the “Label in Properties Windows”, which disappeared in 10.3
47 /Ability to move up/down variables in the “Definition of Variables” window, actually if you want to sort them, you need to delete them all first..

I wrote this before but i have to say so again. THis 12h limit is MEGA ANNOYING! Everyday i lose data because of this stupid logging out.
Can they PLEASE create a possibility to save ongoing tests and resume them after logging out (if that has to be done)!?
