2. Can you please include an advance/decline graph in the market timing graph?

   Advance/decline is available as a mini graph for a short period. I believe it would be useful to see it on an extended time graph. This would help us see a correlation between adv/dec patterns and the general trend of the market.

5. Notes that can move or remain stationary and appear on all graphs for a stock

   Another software provider has very good note functionality.
   1. Notes appear on all graphs for a symbol.
   2. Notes can be moved.
   3. Notes can appear anywhere on a graph and can be set to automatically move with the graph or remain stationary.
   4. Text color is configurable. I like the Vector vest background color adjustment.

7. export backtest equity curve to excel

   Backtester currently plots the equity curve, but we need a way to export the same data into Excel so that we can do further analyses in Excel to be able to do more through benchmark analyses as well as to be able to compare across different markets and indices. The data is already available and plotted. We just need to export it to a file -- just like what was already done for "Trade History". Please make this available ASAP. Thank you.

8. Monte Carlo Simulator with Unisearch random selection

   Take VV out of the DARK ages with Monte

   Typical Scenario

   Go to cash on a certain "sell" signal (or short) then buy the top x number of stocks from a given Unisearch based on a certain "buy" signal. But obviously, the top 5 stock by RT will be different to the top 5 by CI and so on an so forth, so you do another backtest sorted by CI and other by RT etc. However, one run of a Unisearch mechanic based on picking the top (say) 5 stocks using CI or RT etc may result in a freak once off "non statistical occurance". This is crazy - all you are doing is looking at "non statistically significant" "once offs", there is a better way - A Monte Carlo Simulator with random selection generator.

   QUESTION - How do we get better statistical significance in out Unisearch?

   ANSWER - RANDOMIZATION and MONTE CARLO SIMULATION OF A UNISEARCH

   OK let me explain

   Say I have the signal to buy so I run a certain Unisearch and get a list of 20 stocks. Obviously, the top 5 by RT will be different to the top 5 by CI as previously mentioned. But lets just say they are sorted by "CI descending" and I chose to buy stocks 1 through 5 (from this Unisearch in each up/buy cycle and go to cash in each down cycle). I then backtest this Unisearch mechanic to get a result of 7% return.

   However I then I run the Backtest mechanic agains but suppose I chose stock 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 for a 105% return (a random 5 of the top 20 by CI decending). And then ran a third backtest but select stock 1, 3, 5, 8, 12 (another random 5 of the top 20 by CI) for a 185% return.

   This tells me that although the first backtest appears pretty average on selecting the top 5 stocks (i.e. 7%), the Unisearch is actually pretty good as over 3 runs of selecting Random stocks from the Unisearches 20 stocks, the general return trend is 98%.

   Now 3 runs is pretty meaningless. So lets say we have the POWER of a MONTGEN (MONTECARLO GENERATOR)

   Say there are 7 "buy/go to cash cycles" over 3 years using your desired Unisearch Mechanic eg Using Unisearch X in buy cycles

   So the 7 cycles are (1)Buy Stock - (2)Go to Cash - (3)Buy Stock - (4)Go to Cash - (5)Buy Stock - (6)Go to Cash - (7)Buy Stock

   So the Montecarlo generator goes like this
   (1) Buy Stocks cycle - Run Unisearch x and randomly select 5 stocks from top 20
   (2) Cash cycle - Go to cash until next buy signal
   (3) Buy Stocks cycle - Run Unisearch x and randomly select 5 stocks from top 20
   (4) Cash cycle - Go to cash until next buy signal
   (5) Buy Stocks cycle - Run Unisearch x and randomly select 5 stocks from top 20
   (6) Cash cycle - Go to cash until next buy signal
   (7) Buy Stocks cycle - Run Unisearch x and randomly select 5 stocks from top 20

   (8) Check return over 1 run = 44% hypothetically

   (9) Go back to (1) and repeat (1) to (7) 1000 times.

   (10) Check return over 1000 runs = 36% hypothetically using random chance selection on a given Unisearch mechanic

   You then find that overall this unisearch mechanic produces a smoothed out return of 36%. This then tells us that over a reasonable time, even if you make some errors in judgement here and there, or the market does "out of the ordinary" things, your overall Unisearch mechanic is statistically sound over 1000 runs based on unknown random elements and randomisation.

   When running big $ projects that carry a lot of unknowns, you always run monte carlo simulators over your schedules to determine the most likely end date.

   What we are attempting to do is use the PC processing power to smooth out the random unknowns from the market chaos. Our VV group criticises the "cherry picked" nature of the Unisearches. You can't accuse of cherry picking when you do a Monte Carlo simulator. You see, many folks don't actually buy the top 5 or 10 from a Unisearch, they generally cherry pick from the Unisearch,

   If VV had a Monte Carlo Generator, it would be in a New League. The output could show scattergraphs of bunching.

   WOW you guys are nuts not to do this

   Take VV out of the DARK ages with Monte

9. Backtester stop criteria doesn't include ProTrader options.

   I just got your ProTrader Add On and so far in my back testing I'm not able to simulate the way I really try to trade. That is, if I buy on a MACD and DPO crossover I might want to stop out of the position on some combination of these ProTrader signals. Is there anything in the works or the pipeline to add such a feature to the Back Tester?

10. Allow Weekly Moving Averages in Searches

    Hello,
    I am thinking of upgrading to the pro trader add on and would like to know if one of my own scanning criteria can be programmed into Pro trader.
    I currently use another program to do this.

    The scan I use is:
    Weekly bars.
    40 period simple moving average.
    Scan done at the end of the week only.

    The scan seeks to identify those stocks where:-
    The weekly closing price is above a rising 40 period moving average
    The closing price is the highest price that the stock has traded in the last 12 weeks
    A minimum volume variable.

    After looking at the recent training videos it seems that it may be possible
    Thank you
    Regards
    Greg Burns

12. Printed Reports Do NO have a print date. I waste time figuring out which one was run last week & today. Generate print date.

    I travel frequently and get a lot done on airplances. Because printed reports do not have a print date, it is tough to know which report is this week's and which one is last weeks -- they are the same report run on different days.

14. simple alerts

    I was a market maker on the New York options floor. They had a system you could employ on a chart page. They had a horizontal curser you move up and down to set an alert at any price you wanted. It would flash on the screen or a bell would go off letting you know the stock traded through the price you set. This was one of the best tools that everyone took advantage of. I have never seen it on any other program. I am sure it is simple to put in your program. George

20. ProTrader enhancements

    Some of these enhancements may already be in the works, but I would like to see the following enhancements:

    (A) Enhancements to ProTrader:

    1. Add Keltner Channel crossovers to the existing set of technical parameters to be used in searches. I know we currently have Bollinger band crossovers, but Keltner Channel will add to the power of ProTrader

    2. Add capability to find support/resistance retracement/break from moving average lines. Right now, VV covers only horizontal support/resistance.

    3. Expand support/resistance data to span more than 300 bars. Also, increase number of touches

    4. Provide more flexibility to choose moving average crossovers in searches. For example, add a capability to select time periods in months. Eg., search 1 month – 20 month crossovers.

    5. Provide a moving average search feature to identify stocks that are above or below a certain moving average line when defining searches. Right now, we only have searches for crossovers.

    6. Add some basic yet powerful pattern recognition capabilities to searches such as cup with handle, double top/bottom, climax top/capitulation bottom, 4 week tight pattern, etc.

    (B) Tools for scanning for potential earnings plays:

    I would like to see some basic stock selection criteria for trading earnings announcements such as:

    • Companies that have consistently beaten (a) revenue estimates, (b) earnings estimates, and (c) forward guidance quarter over quarter

    • Companies that have exhibited “accelerated earnings and/or revenue growth” over a number of quarters

    • How companies have reacted to earnings on the day/day after the earnings release including the extent of price moves so they can be searched over a number of quarters to find patterns or serial earnings beaters or missers

    Some of these enhancements may already be in the works, but I would like to see the following enhancements:

    1. Add Keltner Channel crossovers to the existing set of technical parameters to be used in searches. I know we currently have Bollinger band crossovers, but Keltner Channel will add to the power of ProTrader
