In Backtests, give option that restricts duplicates of closed positions too (a la wash sale rule).
When backtesting, replacement stocks in my tests are often the same stock so that I'd be trading the same stock several times within 30 days, often with losses I couldn't write off in real trading because of "wash sale" rule. Allow me to restrict buying closed positions to simulate real tax planning of trades.

Graph a portfolio
VV allows you to graph a watchlist, but not a portfolio (as far as I know). Allow the same functionality so you can track the RT of your consolidated portfolio, compare performance vs the VVC or other metrics, etc.

RT Kicker Filter for Stocks - Apply the GLB Kicker to Stocks - Improve performance
Since the Kicker for the GLB worked so well, why not allow users using Unisearch to search for stocks whose 10 day MA of RT is over its 15 day MA of RT or any moving average we want.
10 votesThe new update to VectorVest 7 includes Custom Moving Averages for Unisarch that can be used to create an RT Kicker. Last Friday’s Strategy of the Week showed how to setup this type of search.
If you haven’t received the new update yet, it can be downloaded here:

Don't stop the video
When the Full Screen button is hit while in Full Screen mode viewing Daily/Timing/SOTW, it should simply reduce to the original size and keep playing. Instead, the video stops, and you have to restart and find your place again in the video.
1 voteThe new VectorVest 7 video player is available and resolves this Full Screen issue.

All windows should update at end of day for intraday users without having to restart VV7
All windows appear to update on the Home tab including Strategy, except for Color Guard (SFS starts). The Welcome page does not update either unless VV7 is closed, and restarted.
It would seem that ALL windows should update, not just a subset.
1 voteThis issue is resolved in the latest version of VectorVest 7.

Unisearch where the CI MA 10 Crosses above the CI MA 20, and both above the CI MA 40
I have been looking at the above unisearch (CI Up & Comers) and find that the best time to enter this strategy is much more earlier.
So could you design a unisearch that will cover a CI MA crossover?
The point at which the CI MA 10 Crosses above the CI MA 20 and both the CI MA 10 and the CI MA 20 are greater than the CI MA 40.
This would give us information about the beginning of the move. We can then look at the graphs and cherry pick for profits.
This would be a great addition…
1 voteTom, this search can be created using the new Unisearch Custom Moving Averages in ProTrader. The 2/1/2013 Strategy of the Week shows how these searches can be created.

Can VV be delivered to MAC users via Citrix Zen?
I am currently receiving a Windows only trading platform on my MAC via Citrix Zen. The program works great and does not require me to have Parallels or Windows installed. It functions directly on my MAC. Can Vector Vest be delivered the same way for MAC users?

Make viewing the Model Portfolios optional
Make an option to delete or hide the model portfolios. It is very frustrating to have my portfolios get crowded out by something I do not use or need.
2 votesWe have added a new checkbox at the top of the Portfolios to hide/show the VectorVest Model Portfolios in the new 1.4 release of VectorVest 7. If you don’t have it yet, you should be receiving the update in the next few days.

VectorVest 7 allows the entry of either the symbol or the company name in all symbol text boxes. Type in the company name and it will narrow it down to the symbol you are looking for.
