Myst,

I am having a problem with the program. I don't know if it is a bug or if I am doing something incorrectly.

I am backtesting the program to see how it would of worked moving forward from Dec. 2002 to the present using setups I would of made and making adjustments as I move forward.

Anyway, I have noticed I have made some entry errors along the way in the portfolio manager. I have mistakenly left the default buy on when I meant to sell. Well, I have caught the errors, went back to delete the original transaction, but the shares remain in the account despite trying to delete them.

The only way I have been able to correct it is to write down all the trades in the stock in question and delete and rebuild the stock and trades from scratch.

Am I doing something wrong in trying to correct my errors, or is it the program? If it is the program, were you aware of this and planning a fix for it?

Also I am reading the old posts and have gotten up to February 2003. In January of last year there was a big bruhaha between you and some AIM fellow. I figure you remember it. Anyway some of the talk at the time involved questions regarding how the program would work and several posters, including Lou said they would give some results in about a year. Well the year is up and I would be interested in knowing how real life trading has worked out in your porfolio as well as some of the other posters.

I have mentioned Xdev to some posters on RB and Yahoo and have caught thier interest. I may have some customers coming to you if I can get them some success stories.

Thanks, I am enjoying playing with the program and have made my first trades in ADCT, RFMD and BMY. Instead of playing stocks I am playing options. Mostly long term leaps. Do you know how others have faired using this kind of approach? It isn't as exact as stocks but the leverage should take out the difference between lot sizes and a whole lot more I would imagine.
