An error occurred while saving the comment Howard Beckett commentedThe value of a VV Colorguard spreadsheet is in being able to test your own market timing signals or to mix entry signals with exit signals. It would be even better to have the Colorguard market data searchable directly from Unisearch. See my IR to "Add Market Data to Unisearch"

List the rank of a stock in the total of all stocks considered, the rank of the stock in its Business sector, and the rank in the stock's industry group. It would also be great to know the rank of the sector amongst all sectors and the rank of one Industry group versus the others in its business sector. This would make finding the "Best-of-the-Best much easier.

An error occurred while saving the comment Howard Beckett commentedWhen the BSR was at its lowest (.02 on 12/1/08) it was 100% wrong. If you took out the Buy rated Contra ETFs it would have been .01. Because "changing" the BSR is problematic, I recommend a purified ratio called the B2S ratio which ONLY shows "Buy" rated stocks to "Sell" rated stocks. More than 10% of the items in VV's list of 8000 equities are ETFs. This distorts many issues.

An error occurred while saving the comment Howard Beckett commentedI consider this a bug - not an improvement request. The problem existed in VV-US but it was restricted to the lesser used parameters. In VV-7 the problem is everywhere. Just lazy programmers I guess.

An error occurred while saving the comment Howard Beckett commentedIn Indices, sectors, IGs, and stocks add a feature called "virtual volume" that takes the up to the minute data and compares it to a proportionate segment of the 50 day average daily volume. For example, in a 6 1/2 hour trading day there are 78 five-minute time "chunks". Every five minutes, report the stock's volume for the day and 1/78 of the average volume times the number of elapsed "chunks" since the opening bell. This could be done minute by minute for real time subscribers and in 5 or 15 minute bites for Intraday. It would help spot hi volume activity quickly.

An error occurred while saving the comment Howard Beckett commentedThere is an improvement request elsewhere that requests VV keep a "rank order" value for VST on stocks daily . If you are using a "VST desc." type sort this other request might help meet this need.
VV has all of the data to support this idea and it would cut out many steps in many Strategy of the Week exercises. I have toyed with a timing signal I call the "confirmed primary wave" that is something like "green-light" buying. The thing is that it is extremely tedious to test when you constantly have to stop and go to the views to get primary wave signaals.
