Hi Tom, or anyone else who can answer a couple of questions about Newport.

In creating a history file (*.HST) in Excel according to the instructions in cell R2 is =CONCATENATE(J2,I2,J2,",",L2,",",M2,",",N2,",",O2,",",P2,",",Q2)

What do cells N2 and O2 stand for or are supposed to contain?

The Newport requirement to add data on Monday is a minor pain. Is there anyway to reset the Sunday back to Friday so the data can be added on Saturday or Sunday?

The other thing is I seem to have misplaced the information about creating multiple Newport instances. Pointers, please?

As to progress with Newport I think I have finally gotten it to display things correctly, but I had to modify the instructions in the file about creating a .HST file. What I had to do to add positions that existed prior to using AIM/Newport was to reset the date at the initial sign in to the date of the original purchase and enter the data in the "Add Stock" screen. Then I opened the created Excel file and added the history file line data to the spreadsheet and pulled down the stock owned column to the current date. Then copy all of column R2:R(X) and paste into the the open .HST file and save.

Having done this the Hold Zone matches the online calculator.

The only thing about this is that the initial trade does not show in the "Recent Trades" window. Not a big deal, though.

Thanks,

Allen
