: Thank you for your prompt response.

: In FastTrack, there is a marker (vertical line, affectinately called a pole by FT users). You can move this pole to any day, plant it with the down arrow, then move the pole to a new date (left or right), and get the percetage gain/loss between the poles.

: More cumbersome, but similar, a chart could show the gain/loss over a date range. I guess reports perform that function, but the percentage price change between days (range represented by the vertical line) is very visual on a chart.

Hi Chris,
Thanks, I understand what you're looking for. You can do this a little
now with trendlines. You can start a trendline at one point, and as you
draw it, the %yield will be displayed in the status bar. You can also
later position your cursor over an endpoint of the trendline to see the
%yield.
We do plan on extending trendline's capabilities, such as being able to
drag their endpoints to reposition them.

To draw a trendline hold down Ctrl+Shift and click/drag your left mouse
button.

Thanks,
Mark
