Mq, it's not that hard, if you spend a few hours a day trading and watching the markets. Plenty of time to check on positions. Right now I have around 50 different positions in my accounts, but many of them are similar, so I only need to make decisions about a few different classes of investments. All the positions I manage fit on a single, dense, one page spreadsheet. The rows of the spreadsheet are individual positions grouped into investment classes. The columns are the different accounts I manage, i.e. taxable accounts, IRAs, etc. I don't use computers to tell me what to do, although I do consult charts to decide when exactly to buy or sell.
