A portfolio tracker I guess. I'm also using Medved quotetracker.
You're probably asking why I'm using both but I started with excel
yesterday and medved today plus I use excel formulas (% volatility
model) for position sizing. It sure is a pain in the butt to go through
the day and figure out when my stop losses kicked in. Should I be doing
back testing and if so, how do I do that?
Thanks

Hi Jeff,
When you state "I'm trying to fine tune my system" are you using Excel
as a portfolio tracker, a back testing tool, or a stock selection tool?

Subject: RE: [CANSLIM] elder and triple screens
Right now I'm trying to fine tune my system using excel. Is this a good
approach to take or should I try one of those stock simulators? I know
doing it through excel doesn't account for slippage. How do you know
when you're ready to trade? Is it just a trial and error process?
