Tom,

How do you maintain your Newport 'Summary' AIM account (collective of all positions)?

Is it you sum the total of all the component AIM's and enter that as the 'Current' price?

When I tried to enter a 1 share and current price = total of all AIM's, Newport complained about there not being enough shares for minimum trade size=1.

Hi Is7550

That is cool. Do you know if that will work on an Aple computer?

Hi Clive, I'll take some time later to play with the XLS spreadsheet, but first glance shows a min. order size larger than the value. In Newport this wouldn't be a happy situation. That field, Min. $$$ to trade and also Min. Shares to trade are both part of the active calculation of the Buy/Sell ranges. In other words, if we shrink or expand the $$$ min. for trading, the Buy/Sell Range will also shrink or expand. This is true of the min. number of shares to be traded.

Here it looks like that feature is not yet turned on. Thanks for your hard work on this.

Best regards, Tom
