Whole shares (not fractional) enter t Portfolio
When entering a trade in Portfolio, whole # of shares are entered. Yet when asked to confirm the trade the # of shares is displayed with 3 decimal places. This is confusing. It can be clarified by having the code such that 'If fractional shares are entered in the Quantity field, then display fractional shares in the Confirm -- Otherwise only display whole # of shares'

I just sold 500 shares of a stock that had 3 different purchase dates. VV will not permit me to select lots and dates of purchase.
I just sold 500 shares of a stock with 3 different purchase dates. VV will not let me select the lots with the purchase dates I wanted to sell. Now my tax report is wrong as well as my cost basis of the remaining shares. A deficiency in the program. VV does a lot of great things, but it doesn't permit one to selects lots for sale. Can't this be solved?

Enable MA Crossover for RT parameter
The RT parameter in a custom search should be able to be linked to the operator 'trending' MA Crossover. The RT is a better indicator than price-volume in the currently available canned search

User Defaults
More User Defaults need to be desinated or re-configured.. In Unisearch, I always look up searches alphabetically but the program defaults to "Group" sort. Why not make it user definable? In Portfolios, the graph always opens up in intraday format. I prefer EOD. Why not make it user definable?

Ability in backtest to hold or liquidate portfolio and cease puchasing when a confirmed call changes.
My best backtest strategy does great when confirmed up and terrible when confirmed down. Would like to test whether it is better to sell entire portfolio or hold until stop when a confirmed down is called. As a bonus: The ability to switch strategy with confirmed calls would be nice.

Add portfolio backup function to Vector Vest.
There is currently no way to backup portfolios. After accidentally erasing my "live" portfolio with a back test, I was surprised to learn there is no way to make a portfolio backup! I was told by VV tech support that VV 7 does not include backup/restore functions.

Add Chandelier Stops
The Chandelier Stop is a trailing stop that is based on the volatility of the market. It has been successfully used and recommended by a number of traders, including Chuck LeBeau, for trend-following systems. The equations for the Chandelier Stop (CS) indicator recently incorporated into the FT Program are as follows:
If Long: CS=HH-FactorEMA(Range, Length)
If Short: CS=LL+FactorEMA(Range,Length)6 votes -
add ability to take profit on every stop besides just %G/L
%G/L is the only stop which allows taking a profit, why? RT<1 is a great stop, if I have a 50% Gain, I don't want to wait for the RT to go below one to be left with whatever profit may still be available, I want to take the 50% profit. Same applies to every stop in the program, why allow a good profit disappear by waiting to get stopped out? Is the name of the game taking profits or getting stopped out? This of course needs to be added in portfolios and backtest

Portfolio Percent Gain/Loss
Currently the text next to the Portfolio Minigraph displays the % Gain/(Loss) and % Gain/(Loss) Today fields as integer values. Please add one or two decimal precision to display a more accurate value. Example, a gain of .49 displays as 0%, a gain of .52 displays as 1%.

Add "Modified" Calmar Ratio (Total % G/L divided by Max Drawdown) column to the Tote Board.
The Calmar Ratio is an extremely useful statistic in analyzing Risk/Reward in a trading strategy. Why not add a "modified" Calmar Ratio as a column on the Toteboard. It would be a great way to sort strategies and would be very meaningful for many of us in determining good strategies to trade.

New search requested " All time high within last 30 days".
I request a new search " All time high within last 30 days". Currently VV only has "52 week high" and search results contain too many stocks, and too much "noise" and only work "on the day". This new search is designed to be run monthly and pin-point stocks that have been consistently rising in price, are above IPO price and hence have no "disappointed purschasers" to quote the good Doctor.

For VV7 QTests, allow the date to remain constant to compare searches.
In VV7, when doing a Quick Test, any change in the search or going to a new search defaults to the current date. It would be easier to compare searches and/or variations of searches if one could keep the dates constant without having to manually set the desired dates each time.
