you become familiar with a product.  I've used Quicken Home & Business 
for several years and, although I'm quick to point out its shortcomings because 
I think some of them are just oversights, I use it every day and it's very 
functional at doing most of what I need.  I'm constantly striving for that 
perfect world where all the software does everything perfectly...

Do 
you (or others) have favourites that I could start with, or do you use custom 
ones that sell for $5,000 each?  I realize this is probably a Pandora's Box 
... like asking a group of traders what the best software 
is.

Funny how it took until after 10 PM tonight for your message to reach me and you 
sent it at 10:41 AM ...

  Hi Bill
  Welcome to the world of Metastock - to jaded 
  old hacks like me its refreshing to read you speaking so well of the 
  product.  Having got used to it I tend only to see what is doesn't do yet 
  claims to do.  However, enough of that cynicism.
  I do not know of any feature that allows you 
  to "flag" a security that you have a position in.  I can only suggest 
  that when you take out a position you move that security into a separate list 
  or folder (create a long folder and a short folder) and then run your 
  "close position" explorations against securities in those folders.  A bit 
  long winded but really only a couple of clicks within downloader once you have 
  the folders set up.
