 Dear Stockfetcher:
 It's been a while since any new features have been released. There are three that would be killer:
 
 1. Historical results, simplified.
 Run a filter starting some date in the past. The results view gives you all of the FORWARD filter runs with each date's symbols and their FORWARD results with the AVERAGED stats. Knowing the average of the highest-highs and lowest-lows will help real world trading by knowing where to set stops and take profits. This is NEEDED.
 
 These results give you a good gauge for setting stops, profits, and holding periods. They COLLATE the filter's performance over time.
 
 Here's what I currently use to understand SF flters using exported data from another system. The "start date" is the date the filter returned the symbol. The stats are based on OHLC data from the start date going forward.
 
 
 
 2. All returned symbols from starting date, simple list for export:
 Run a filter from some date in the past. There should be an option to output simple list of ALL of the tickers and the dates they appeared from a start date to an end date. This is not the "export CSV" feature that already exists and only includes one day. This is all days over a range. This useful for analysis here and in other systems. Eg:
 ACRX	11/13/2020
 ETSY	11/13/2020
 TWLO	11/13/2020
 AXNX	11/16/2020
 GGB	11/18/2020
 ASND	11/24/2020
 CUBE  11/24/2020
 DCUE 11/27/2020
 ALYA 12/1/2020
 ABT	12/2/2020
 ALJJ	12/4/2020
 VALU	12/4/2020
 ONCT	12/8/2020
 CTLT	12/8/2020
 CMI	12/10/2020
 ABC	12/11/2020
 PHI	12/11/2020
 KINS	12/15/2020
 RC	12/16/2020
 BJRI	12/17/2020
 MOH	12/17/2020
 YINN	12/18/2020
 JP	12/18/2020
 ONCY	12/24/2020
 ICF	12/24/2020
 LORL	12/24/2020
 
 
 3a. In the filter results table, indicate how many times a given symbol has appeared in the filter results over X days, where X is configurable somewhere in the interface. What good is it to eyeball the last 3 negative returns for GOOG but where the earliest return is 74%? How can anyone use results with zero context? This adds context.
 
 3b. To add to the above, a  column with "cumulative return" up to the current date would help us interpret the symbols that have appeared several times over a recent period.
 
 ---actually, 3a/b could be part of one larger historial results view, too.
 
 
 Really need some new tools for understanding filter results. Please consider. Thanks.
