Howdy,
I just started using 7.0 today (12/28/2011) and I wanted to enter one of my favorite strategies from VV 6.0. Well, I was stymied by the very first parameter! I wanted to use the Expansion Breakout operator, but 7.0 has no such creature.
Also, please allow for an unlimited (or at least far larger) number in the Highest/Lowest rankings. I tried to put in Stock = Lowest 999 Stocks by RT which is possible in 6.0. Not in 7; the limit is 500. Believe me when I say there are lots of possibilities for exploration here; that limit is unnecessarily low and restrictive, and it seems like it would be an easy fix to implement. (Make it 4 digits!) Isn't there a use for the 1200 lowest stocks by RT Delta over 5 days, for example?
Also, rankings by RMA of various elements (RT for example: I wanted Stock = Bottom 999 by 5 and 10 day RMA of RT) are not available.
After an admittedly cursory inspection, I can say this: VV 7 is cool in lots of ways. But I'm a bit frustrated that some of my (meaning I designed them) very best strategies can't be duplicated in 7.
I hope you won't stop until 7 can do everything 6 does right now. And I strongly recommend that 6 be kept a viable option far, far into the future.
Thanks,
Tom Wyckoff
