: Taking it one step further. Is there a way you can create user defined indexes. For example it would be great to plot all banking stocks as a sector and then look at an individual stocks performance against the sector. To achieve you would need some method to create an interpolated price for a stock which had not traded on the day.

Hi Martyn,
Thanks for the suggestion. We may be able to do something for this in
the future. We're thinking of adding the ability to open multiple portfolios,
so you could set up a portfolio to track as an index, and then compare
portfolios.

Thanks,
Mark
