Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Personally, I use BA to develop, test, and implement a portfolio of equity strategies, with the modest goal of providing my family a little extra income each year. Our results thus far have been terrific and, more importantly, perfectly in line with BA’s modeling. Needless to say, this technical and statistical “accuracy” reinforces my confidence in your product and in my own strategy development process. As an aside, the value that your randomness modeling and variance testing provides is incalculable, particularly in terms of the time and money these two “filters” save me by not having to further test deceptively promising strategies.
  • Extremely easy to test and build all my strategy ideas. I have even found new strategy concepts letting the machine learning build strategies for me. This has been a big time saver and would highly recommend this software to any serious trading system developer.
  • There are so many entry and exit signals and functions that it is nearly impossible to even list them all. I particularly like the non-price signals like market breadth, term structure, treasury spreads as have not found any other software to test these. These things impact the market environment and conditions and in a way all the price action anomalies. Build Alpha let's me test any combination quickly. Big time saver.
  • Very easy to use and generates reliable strategies quickly. Generated code is clean and works well on both TradeStation and NinjaTrader.
  • *Covers every market and timeframe *Tons of included data and ability to add my own *Flexible interface to add/exclude indicators *Super fast results and great stress tests *Reliable code and execution of generated code

Cons

  • While I’ve been a marginally profitable discretionary trader for many years, this is the first time I have ever made any money trading with algorithms, despite decades of effort. Only time will tell how permanent my results will be, but I’m convinced I’ve stumbled upon something special with BA.
  • At this point I do not have any cons or negative things to add
  • Would like to run the software on more than 2 PCs. However, Dave is very good about moving the software to new machines when requested. It is just the one downfall of desktop applications but not a knock at the software’s quality or my experience so far.
  • Limit to two PCs is difficult as I travel and want to have an install on a work PC.
  • *Desktop so limited to two PCs *Need to use virtual environment on Mac (Dave gave discount for Parallels purchase)

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's fairly easy to use, once you take the training. The easy approach is to keep ideas in a "watchlist." With a bit more effort, users can track their portfolio.

Cons

  • I’ve used VectorVest for several years, but am now stopping. It’s because I checked their data against another source (MSN.com), and found that it’s unreliable. Upon consulting with their support folks, I learned a surprising fact: VectorVest does not report earnings, but only FORECASTS (or "estimates") of earnings. Even after the quarterly earnings reports come out, they will keep the forecast data in their history, even if it's wildly inaccurate. EXAMPLE: Comparing Facebook from July 2019 to June 2020. VectorVest shows revenue steadily increasing month by month. MSN shows that revenue peaked in December 2019. VectorVest shows earnings stuttering for the first 3 months, then going steadily upwards from then on. MSN shows that earnings peaked in December and never recovered to the earlier level. If you are a VectorVest user, even on a trial, you can see this for yourself. 1) Choose any stock, and open a graph for it. 2) Show at least the graph line for earnings. 3) Notice that it gives "earnings" right up until today. But no one will know the true earnings until they are reported, perhaps two or three months from now. 4) Furthermore, notice how the "earnings" line on the graph changes every day, sometimes with big changes up and down. All this is just estimates. A graph of true earnings will have just four data points each year, one for each quarter. 5) For Canadian stocks, I also notice that the dividends graph line often has movements up and down from day to day and week to week. This is pure speculation; it's not based on actual data. VectorVest simply is not a trustworthy basis for investment decisions.
