Another feature to ad to the list. Load a transaction file from another
portfolio management application and use the functionality of NeoTicker to
analyze its performance.

And to me that means any or all of the following:

 * Run 1 system on N markets with same parameters on all markets.
 * Same, but with different parameters for each market.
 * Run N systems on M markets, perhaps with linkage between
   parameters.  E.g. system A runs on markets 1,2,3, and system B
   runs on markets 4,5,6.  I want to be able to optimize A with
   same params or different params on its 3 markets as above,
   and also have B use some of the same values on its markets.
 * Handling any mixture of timeframes, e.g. markets 1, 3, and 5 are
   EOD, 2 and 4 are intraday, 6 is weekly.

Optimizing on Sharpe ratio is the most important measurement, but it
should not be the only one.  User-specified "goodness" measure is
best.

Out-of-sample testing should be included -- e.g. tune the portfolio
for Sharpe or other user-specified measure, but also show the
performance of each parameter set on a set of unseen data.

Portfolio tests should include extensive statistics & charts on the
portfolio performance.  Should be able to adjust the weighting of the
different systems/markets within the portfolio, either as an
optimization parameter OR after the optimization.

I'm sure there's more but that's what comes to mind...
