Well, the +- part is a bit confusing, that will need to be fixed. Smile I'm going with two stocks instead of one this month, at least so far. They're not something I would invest in for the long run, but it might be interesting to see how they play for the next several weeks.

Blame that one on me. Before they didn't have a + sign if positive and I thought astheticly it looked better so put them in manually thinking it wouldn't be too often when a -% would be in the top five. Embarassed

It's fixed now. Also fixed the fact that my "last month" return was showing in red on my portfolio screen, just because my "this month" return is currently red. Wink

Sorry for messing you up with my active posting and my sucky portfolio... Laughing

hmm mine is doing the same thing (showing last months return as red)...im just curious and want to clarify...and again sorry if this is redundant, but am i at -1.xx% because it is a new month and i made a couple of trades this morning which put me in the negative if assuming we started from zero?

You are in the "red" as soon as you make a trade because of commissions. The portfolio screen should be fixed, it should show your last month return in black (assuming you were positive) and your this month return in whatever appropriate color.
