add the ability to set stop-losses for individual securities in portfolios
It would be nice if you could set and adjust stop-loss parameters for individual securities in a portfolio, rather than just the overall portfolio.
This way you could give a larger stop-loss percentage to the more volatile positions, and a a smaller to the more conservative.

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.

Portfolio Automation should include Timing List Options that are available in the Backtest.
It doesn't make sense to offer fine-tuning of Backtests using Timing Options (i.e. Confirmed Calls, Primary Wave, DEW) and then not be able to apply that fine-tuning to your Portfolio Automation. It defeats the purpose of adding it to your Backtest.

Alerts should go to optional Cellphone email, rather than only the account email
Alerts going to an optional (2nd registered email) mobile cellphone number would be very useful. I am not stationary at my account email the entire day to receive alerts. I also do not want the messages sent to my account email address to show up on my cellphone. This would require allowing a seperate email address to be registered rather than only being able to utilize the account email address for ALERTS.

Custom Stop Criteria should remain as set in Genius and not return to default value
The Genius allows to edit different stop prices for each stock, which is a very valuable feature. However, they return all to the default value after the Genius is turned off and on again.
3 votesIn the latest version of VectorVest 7, the Genius will ask you if you want to keep your existing stop criteria when reactivating automation. Select “Keep Existing” to prevent your stop criteria from being overwritten by the defaults.

Stock repurchase delay.
Many times, when running a portfolio with stop losses, the same stock is repurchased the same day it was sold. An adjustable time delay, as in the simulator would be helpful.
