Enhance the Trailing Stop Capabilities in the Backtester
In addition to what
s available now. Arguably, one of the greatest trading systems of all time was the Turtle System, and the Turtles used a 10 day trailing low price when they were long and vica versa on the short side. Right now thats not available in the Backtester. I submit adding the ability to select 1. a prior low price, and 2. Flexible days or periods. For example , test a trailing 4 day low, or maybe a 17 day low, and trailing highs for short sellers. Thank you for your consideration.3 votes -

Copy and paste function for UniSearch criteria
Copying and pasting an entire row or even rows of criteria into another, new or modified search would make it easier than to re-create the same steps (having to re-do the date/time, parameter, operator, and value each time) for a new or modified search.

Profit Locker Email Alert Improvement
When a Profit Locker Stop is triggered and an email alert send to the user, it would be very helpful (and save calls to support) if the ACTUAL stop percentage used to trigger the sell were included in the email. e.g. If a 10% loss target had been tightened to, say, 6% it is not at all clear why the stop was triggered.
This can be seen with Profit Locker Pro but for those who do not have the Pro version this would be very helpful.

Profit Locker Pro's Stop Value?
As things now stand, Profit Locker Pro's Stop Value appears in my layout as the next to last column. I can click on it and drag it to next to price for instance, but when I close that portfolio out and later reopen it, the Stop Value had moved back to its "default" location. I'd like it to remain where I placed it and the same thing goes for all stocks in the portfolio.

Add a simple "Search by Name" or "Find" in the listed searches box of the Unisearch tool.
Maybe I just haven't found it but it would be very nice to be able to filter or search the list of searches by name in the Unisearch tool. I'm always hearing "use the XYZ search to find candidate stocks for …". To find the XYZ search to run it I have to go through the entire list of searches unless I happened to know what tab it is under.

I can't see the black text on the red background in the color guard. Make the text white when it is on a red background.

what would be very useful is if the Performance graph could automatically populate the stock symbols from a specific watchlist.
This would make the ongoing stock performance over various periods of time very easy to do.

discount for Canadian users
The program doesn't have nearly the benefits that the American side does. For example I took an expensive course on nailing the bottom, but it was all directed to American numbers and examples. I am also trying to set up an RSI2 search and I went through all the line numbers, but can't finish it because there is not a "no petro" search in Canada. Many Canadians don't want to trade American stocks because it is a nightmare for accounting purposes. If the same features are not available on the Canadian version, the cost should not be the same.

I need more than 10 GENIUSES - Can I have 20, please?
I think the GENIUS is one of the best features in VectorVest.
After I run my back tests, I convert the portfolio and turn the GENIUS ON to see how it will trade in the future.
I need more than 10.
Could we have 20 please?3 votes -
survivorship bias
One of the big issues with VV is the survivorship bias in the database. So old failed companies are removed from the database. You only back-trade against existing companies. This can skew results badly.From what I remember it can cut performance to 1/3 in the real world. You’ll be trading companies that will not survive and have yet to fail.

Add permanent horizontal line to a graph layout.
It would be good to add a permanent horizontal line to a graph layout and be able to keep it in my layouts. Your consultant said it will disappear with each new stock that is added. This takes too long to keep creating for every stock when they are added as we look for a specific patten.

Portfolio Performance -> Portfolio
I like the new feature "Portfolio Performance" and use it to compare my PaperTrading strategies before using 'the best' for real money transactions. My question: would it be possible to automatically open the actual portfolio by right clicking on the desired line within the list.

Original search result I.D.
When entering stocks from different searches into the same watchlist it would be nice to be able to tell which search they came from, maybe an optional column with the first 2 letters of the search name? Or a notes column?

Sort BackTest by Primary & Secondary Sorts. eg. Sort by name then ARR or CROR
This way one could quickly see what the effect of different Timings Setting, or Volume or Investment Size etc. had on each Strategy.
