1. allow entering market direction filters into strategies

   You teach that is a bad idea to buy an individual stock when the markets are going down. I believe this is a good idea, but I do not see how to do this in any of the many available Unisearch searches. This lacking criteria will now allow a sold stock (due to sell criteria settings) to be replaced on a down market day. This can hurt total results if it followed by more down market days. This can be implemented if a VVC choice were settable in the Parameter field box. One could then set the price change as the Operator and percent change greater than zero as the Value. In fact if they were available one could match their up day requirement to the watch list limits-such as S&P 500, DOW 30, or Russell 2000.
   One could also use the concept to prohibit short searches from selling on up days.
   If you include this line into the chosen search, the back tester would pick replacements stocks. However, no matter how many candidates were otherwise found they would be eliminated for that day and for as many days as the selected market average was going down (or up for short searches).

3. Use the genius to back-test our present portfolios.

   This would give us a way to see "what if" we had our present positions and as the price hit our stop criteria we replaced it with a stock from the Uni-search list.

5. The secret behind the X all comes down to a formula...

   Can VV create the formula described below on a VV graph?
   (from Money Morning ad) as this looks like something VV should offer their subscribers

   The secret behind the X all comes down to a formula...
   Here it is.
   You take the number of periods for the stock, you subtract the number of periods since that stock hit its highest high – you then divide that by the number of periods again.
   And finally, you multiply that answer by 100.

   That's simply the adjustable window of time the formula uses to determine the strength of both momentum and gravity.

   So to keep things simple, let's use 100 – meaning 100 days. We're looking to find the right time frame to base a specific trade on.

   Now, I've highlighted part of this formula labeled "Number of Periods Since Highest High."

   So what this represents is the number of days that have passed since this stock reached its 100-day high point for the green momentum line...

   Now, for the red line, it's the same formula – you just are calculating the number of days since this same stock reached its 100-day lowest low point.

   So after you crunch the numbers you take these scores and you create trend lines for both the green and red lines.

   At two points these two lines will meet – meaning both forces are equal.

   Then, at the first point, the green line will continue shooting straight up as the red line falls.

   The first X will appear.

   When they meet again – the red line will be the one rising, as the green line is falling.

   Their paths will cross, creating the second X.

   These two Xs generally signal a 48-hour window for when you should enter – and exit – a trade.

7. Improve Limit Repurchases Setting Feature and Wording

   The Limit Repurchases settings needs to be improved:
   1. Improve the feature:
   Currently: it will simply not repurchase any stock in the number of days whether you had a loss or a gain. The Wash Sale rule only applies to losses.
   Future: allow the limit repurchases of losses only in the number of days. There is no need to limit repurchases of stock with gains. better still, make a checkbox for each and users can choose.

   1. Improve the wording: Currently: there is confusion amongst subscribers and support staff about the wording "Don't repurchase the same stock for 30 days after sale". Does this mean 30 trading days or 30 calendar days? No no one seems to know exactly. VV Help electronically is poor and does not address this. (There is another feature enhancement!) Future: reword this phrase to reduce ambiguity and say "Don't repurchase the same stock for 30 trading days after sale" OR "Don't repurchase the same stock for 30 calendar days after sale". (based on the actual function). Let's get clear on what this setting is so we can stay lawful traders/investors. Also, if the wash sale rule is based on calendar days, then wouldn't you want to have the software be the same? i.e. you wouldn't have the software based on trading days when the law is based on calendar days. That's inconsistent.

   I've spent a bit of effort on this in the past with support. It's a little challenging doing it from Australia. I hope that the dev team and other subscribers can see the logic in this simple improvement request wouldn't shouldn't need a lot of votes to see it through or years of waiting like many other pieces of feedback in here. Remembering we are continually paying for this service.

12. Add 'scripting language' to VV

    I find VV a powerful platform in terms of allowing the mix of fundamentals and technicals for creating a search or a backtest.
    Unfortunately, the lack of a 'scripting language' to create more complex backtests is not available. This allows only the backtest of very basic strategies since you lack more powerful programming statements like if..then..else, switch... case.. etc. Some indicators in Protrader allow for only a selection from a list which is an unnecessary limitation.

    I would like to have a 'scripting language' capability maybe even in a well known language like C# for example. I believe this would make VV the most powerful trading platform in the market, due to the ability of building complex strategies mixing fundamentals with powerful technical analysis. It would also allow for the creation of many sophisticated indicators present in other platforms creating a continuous improvement of the VV platform. This normally happens in other trading platforms that have a scripting language in which users are constantly adding new indicators and capabilities benefitting both, people comfortable with programming and non-programmers.

13. Move Yahoo VV online users group to a Online Forum Platform

    In this day and age I find absurd that we have Yahoo user group to exchange ideas for the VV platform. This creates a lot of limitations: no support for pictures or graphics (which is key for a trading forum), difficult sorting of messages, emails on topics that I'm not interested, lack of attachments capabilities, etc,

    Yahoo user groups are inadequate, antiquate an inefficient for a trading discussion platform. Maybe 20 years ago, it would suffice, today we have many Online Forum Platforms, some free that would enable a much better exchange of ideas. Also, these online forum platforms, are accessible via the iPad or iPhone (or Android systems) via applications like Tapatalk.

    So, my feedback is that VV start using an Online Forum Platform!
    Thanks!

15. add the ability to subtract an option premim on portfolio.

    On portfolio tab you can add an option premium but you cant subtract an option premium. so you can sell a covered call but you can't buy it back. This should be relatively easy to do.

18. in your portfolios, add the ability to buy and sell fractions of shares so charts will clearly reflect stock splits and reverse splits

    Recently, I bought TZA on 9/2, sold half the position on 9/28, TZA reverse split 1 for 4 on 10/1, I sold remaining half position after the split on 10/1, and the portfolio chart for VectorVest now shows a huge spike in the portfolio performance which does not go away; end result the chart does not properly reflect the portfolio performance and value and I cannot edit it to fix it without the ability to buy and sell half shares
