I sometimes save a backtest before entering one or multiple trades, so I can quickly revert to my save and try different things. To make this workflow as efficient as possible, I propose following additions to the program:
- Adding customizable shortcuts for File->Save Backtest, File->Save Backtest As File->Open Backtest... menu entries for speed. Saving and loading via shortcuts is a time saver for any program. Normally Ctrl+S is used for this, but you use it for Default Sell Entry Rule; maybe you'll change it.
- Revert to saved function: This would make my workflow very fast. Just a single shortcut (and its menu entry under File menu) to reload currently open backtest file with a yes/no prompt so that users don't lose their unsaved trades by mistake. If we can turn this prompt off in settings, that would be even better. Power users will probably want to turn off the confirmation prompt since they love to live fast and dangerously .
- "Incremental Save" menu entry and its customizable shortcut. It should save the current backtest with a "_001", "_002"... suffix instead of overwriting the file, so we can quickly create incremental backtest saves with a single key press. Otherwise we'd have to do this manually.
