Enable searching on zones for completed SSGs so you can quickly identify stocks that have entered buy or sell zones.
In the display of one’s studies, there’s a column that shows whether or not the SSG is complete. Why not show which zone the stick is in? The answers would be Buy, Hold, Sell, or Incomplete.

Display Pre-Tax Profit on CoreSSG
Please add the PTP Chart and Line on the CoreSSG. This is fundamental information that helps us determine whether a company is growing.
The chart should be added between Step 1: Historical Sales and Step 2: Historical Earnings Per Share.
Then, the PTP Line could be displayed on the Historical Stock Price Review.
See attached File.

Use Correct Data
The SSG Plus and Core are pulling incorrect data from Morningstar for Gentex resulting in flawed analyses for the companies.
One example is that BI and Morningstar report GNTX released dividends of $0.33 per share for 2018. In fact, GNTX posted dividends of $0.44 per share.
I wonder, how come these basic data are incorrect? What other data are incorrect and resulting in flawed analyses?
Idea: Create a data quality verification algorithm to ensure your vendors are supplying you with correct inputs so your customers (members) can create correct outputs. I would urge you to remember that a vendor's Garbage…

Re-name stock search page to 'Stock Ideas' page
While the Magnifying glass icon link to the page says 'Stock Ideas', the page title doesn't - it's inconsistent.
Actually there doesn't seem to be a page title, unless it's 'Search for a company'. but that's not really what the page does.
'Search for a company', 'Search Criteria', etc are good for parts of the page, but 'Stock Ideas' is a better name for the page itself.
It's even the name of the drop-down category in this feature request section. So maybe that's what the developers call it??1 vote -
Allow outliers in quarterly trend graph
Using INGN as an example, it had the 3/15 quarter with 3000% EPS growth. Changing to Last 5 years, did not impact graph. Limit growth to 50% jshowed sales trend better but most of EPS cut off as it was above 50%. Current graph options are pretty meaningless for this stock. Having ability to quickly exclude that quarter would be helpful.

On the Portfolio and Studies page, let portfolio view extend across user's screen to reduce scrolling
On the Portfolio and Studies page, user has to scroll back and forth to view the entire portfolio table. There is a lot of wasted blue space to the left and right of the portfolio view. It would be helpful if the view wasn't fixed to a specific width, but used responsive design to allow it to expand to fit the entire browser window width per the user's own computer and browser width preferences. Because the row headings are fixed, once user scrolls to the right, you don't know what stock you're looking at for the right side columns.

On the Portfolio and Studies page, add column: number of shares
In the portfolio view on the Portfolio and Studies page, please consider adding a column showing the number of shares for a particular holding. It would make it much easier to replace old SSGs with new ones in an existing portfolio, and check your data, if you could easily see the number of shares for the old SSG. Toolkit does this via a special window.

Add past 5 years sales growth and EPS percentage where it is visual on page 1.
Add the past five years sales growth and EPS percentage on page 1. This is important to look at when researching a company. The only place to find it is on the page where you download information to Toolkit.

Portfolio update SSG
Be able to update Portfolio with new SSG report without having to delete existing from portfolio and then add new SSG (sometimes imported from member following the stock) into the portfolio and reentering shares held. (i.e. Replace SSG abc 1/1/19 with abc 3/1/19)

Screener Preview Data Graph Order
When you select a column to sort screener results by and then do into Data Preview, the order of the companies remains alphabetical. I'd like the order of companies to be in order of the column I sorted by.

Highlight data changes
When data is updated (not stock price) highlight the ticker. Keep that ticker highlight until the user 'clears' the message. That way users are notified when changes are made to data and reminded to review new information.

When data is changed, keep that data Highlighted
When I unlock and change quarterly, or annual data, keep that data cell highlighted so it can be easily identified when reviewing the data later on.

Allow more than 5 companies to be compared with the Stock Comparison Guide
I find limiting the number of stocks to just 5 to be too small. I would like to compare up to about 15 stocks, say our complete stock portfolio.

Allow an SSG from the past to be generated
I would like to generate an SSG at a point in time in the past. This way we could evaluate our past judgements and see who closely they matched known future results.
