<<<What software do you use to track your trading? Excel? Money (Microsoft)? Quicken (Intuit)? Manual?>>> Manalagi I use a combination of excel backed up by manual. Being older than dirt and not having much faith (or expertise) in the safety of computer data, I find this relatively easy. Excel has not failed me yet, but two hard drive failures over the years have trained me to backup often. I have used Quicken for dividend reinvest (DRIP) but have not had good success with it. Over the years I have changed the registration from "joint WROS" to "tenants in common" to a living trust. Each change in registration was a failure in keeping good data. Also takeovers gave me trouble. I suspect it is my inept use of the program, but with no manuals now provided I have problems. I have 6 DRIPS and make from 100-150 trades per year. The manual system really is keeping the buy orders and stapling the sell order to it. Dave
