How to view individual stock returns in an algo?

Hopefully the title is self explanatory....I have an algo, it backtests reasonably well -- but I really want to dig into the individual buy/sell returns...as I fine tune my model.
I see the returns by sector, what I need is a return by stock report?
Is this even possible?

This sounds like the beginning of overfitting though, watch out

To Quant Trader's point, here's a Quantopian Lecture on overfitting in quant finance.

Good luck!
