Prioritize charting capabilities and utility
Currently Graphing is not user-friendly and there are no help functions for adding and modifying parameters. Also when adding parameters, the ones that do get added cannot be adjusted so as to provide crossover set ups, period changes and standard deviation variations to match particular trading set ups, entries and exits. Having a Graphing capability similar to the VV 7 App would be a good resolution
Thank you for the feedback.
We agree that charting is a critical part of the VectorVest experience—especially for users who rely on technical setups like crossovers, custom timeframes, or standard deviation-based indicators.
In this first phase, we’ve intentionally limited the graphing tools to reduce complexity and help newer users focus on the fundamentals of our system. But robust charting is absolutely on the roadmap, and your input helps ensure we prioritize the right features—like parameter adjustments, indicator overlays, and customizable setups—in future updates.
Would you be open to sharing which specific strategies or indicators matter most to you? Knowing how you use graphs for entries and exits helps us shape a solution that meets real trading workflows.

Thanks Paul, happy to share. I'm a VV7 user, and these are the chart setups I rely on most that I'd love to see in the web app:
NPI with support/resistance: SMA 5 and 40 of RT plus SMA 5 and 40 of Stop Price. I enter half on the RT crossover and the second half on the stop crossover. Support and resistance lines show me where the headwinds are.
DEW Market Timing: VVC with envelopes, a 30-day WMA, DPO and trendlines I can draw. I wait for VVC to close above the downtrend line before I call a Trend Phase.
Star Search: adjustable Bollinger Bands (20,3 and 20,1) and DPO with an editable period.
EMA clouds: EMAs 3, 8, 20 and 40 with shaded clouds, to catch leaders pulling back and holding their averages.
Earnings view: EPS, GRT, Sales GRT and Volume panes, to check before earnings calls.
Market Climate graph: ETI and 50 MA EPS on 1-year and 5-year views.
Most important to me: editable periods and standard deviations, saved layouts, drawing tools that stay on the chart, and a quick switch between graph types (Stock, Sector, Market Timing, Climate) like VV7's dropdown. Thanks for listening! -

I am not so sure that help functions are needed. Most people will learn how to chart using experimentation.

Hi Paul. Thanks for your response May 13th. As a Swing Trade Coaching Group Member, I utilize strategies like EMA Squeeze, 50/50, Holy Grail and Surf the Reversal Wave which requires a combination of precise Price MA settings as well as a variety of Customizable Momentum Indicators (i.e. Stochastics, RSI, ADX) to determine set ups entry and exit targets. Your Planning/Implementation Team should consult with Jerry D'Ambrosio whom would be able to provide exact parameters depending on trade strategy if required. Please let me know if I can provide further assistance
