I agree with VERNESK.
Advantages of 'old' system:
1) Extremely quick and simple
2) Changes can be carried out quickly and pain free
Potential of 'new' system:
1) Much more accurate that LSE now incorporates selling price rather mid price.
2) Percentage daily increase and value increase (or decrease I hope not!) is greater for analysing performance.
3)If the 'old' portfolio could be transferred across. it is taking me a while to manually transfer.
Disadv: Cash income makes profit/return much more confusing. IT MUST HAVE A DELETE STOCK buttom. I also use Reuters and it is toooo clever. You should allow users just to simply delete stocks rather than input it as a sell.
