BackTest Transaction Log Include Reason for Trade
When I study the transaction log for a backtest, I'm trying to determine why a particular trade was made. It's not always easy to tell, and it takes a lot of study. It would be very helpful if the transaction log would include a column for the reason for the trade with some degree of detail, such as "trailing stop hit at 99.99," or "RT Combo up signal," etc.

Greater Depth in Australian Industry/Sector Coverage – Consider Implementing GICS Classifications for Stocks in Industries/Sectors
Insdustry/Sector coverage in Australia is not as deep as it is in the USA. For example there is no Gold Mining or Metals & Minerals in industry or sector viewer only Materials. Seaches like Stalwarts would benefit from greater Industry/Sector Depth/Coverage.
Please consider taking a feed of GICS classifications for the ASX http://www.asx.com.au/products/gics.htm & http://www.investors.asn.au/education/shares/understanding-shares/asx-sectors/

Display a position number next to the Company name so users can see if the Stock/Company is moving up or down in the viewer's output.
If a stock is in the 15th position on the viewer's stock output page, and a refresh is done, seeing if that stock / Company moves up or down in position would be helpful to those who keep track of a stock's daily or intraday movement. It would be helpful to notice just by having a quick glance...where the stock is moving to...up or down.

Put a note on Forgien dividend stock as to the tax charged by the country involved.This way comparison is possible.
I buy dividend stocks from US and Foreign countries. When comparing these stocks there is no mention of the foreign tax on these dividends therefore making it impossible to compare. Exp. I just received a dividend from BASFY a German Co. and the Dividend was $400.00 and the tax was $105.00 .A pretty hefty tax that would have changed my opinion of the purchase .I think VectorVest could put additional info of these types of stocks, perhaps in the Dividend Yield area indicating the tax ramifications.

Add drop-down calender feature in "Tax Reports" in the Portfolio tab in VV7 to show trades from any specified date.
In Tax Reports in the VV7 Portfolios tab, you can only show trades for "Entire History" or a specific calendar year. In other countries such as Australia, their tax year is July through June so if they had the ability to select their appropriate tax year the report would be beneficial to them. The calendar feature would assist any request from a user.

Use different symbol for Kicker Calls on Graphs
At present VectorVest is using solid triangles (Red and Green) for Green Light buyer, Confirm Up/Down Call and GLB/RT Kicker calls. There is no differentiation between these calls. My suggestion is to use a hollow triangle (thick border) with bullet point inside for GLB/RT Kicker call, and a just a hollow green triangle for Green Light Buyer.

View Multiple Regions Simultaneously
It would be really great to have both Cdn and USA on the same database or at least be able to login on both at the same time so I can monitor both at the same time during the day.
VV7 is just amazing as I get more familiar with it. I am a very conservative risk averse person so after three years I am slowly gaining confidence. Every month has been an adventure and the evolution of the system and the training is making my ability to subsidize my earning more risk efficient. VV7 has made my retirement exciting…2 votes -

Unisearch Strategies and Folders
There are maybe over 200 strategies in Unisearch. When these are referred to in Derby or SOTW etc., it is so frustrating and time consuming to locate them under the correct folder in Unisearch. In addition there are some strategies in Derby that do not appear to be in Unisearch.Some users have suggested either a Search button or an additional "Folder" column in Derby. I would like instead that Vector Vest prepares an Excel or pdf format table. The first column would be the Name of the Strategy, the second column, the appropriate Folder in Unisearch, the third column will…

Backtester Rerun
I'd like to be able to rerun a backtest after changing the underlying UniSearch. As it is, I have to make a useless change to the test, initiate a run, stop, and go back and fix it and run it again. The Run button is not enabled unless a change is made to the test.

For the export, add the ability to select columns. Currently only rows can be selected.
Allow column selection when exporting. The only choice now is rows.

Don't rebalance portfolio
When a stock is sold, everything gets sold then is reinvested in many of the stocks that were just sold but rebalanced. This way the best performing stocks are reduced and worst performing are increased. Also, % stop losses are reset when they shouldn't be.

In order to Cherry Pick, allow for the backtester to halt when portfolio loses a position.
To backtest the "Cherry Picking with CI Up and Comers" SOTW, the backtester would need to halt when the number of positions < the normal portfolio size. Cherry Picking is a GREAT method that VV does not currently support. VV would create a tremendous marketing win by publishing the incredible gains possible using the above-mentioned SOTW.
