a couple of suggestions for future releases (forgive my bad english, I'm not mother language)

1. It would be nice to be able to attach a "journal" to each investment. Even something simple, like a notepad text file, or something like that, would be useful. In this way, one could comment on the trades and keep track of its reasoning behind each trade. Of course it would be awsome if the journal had some formatting capabilities (fonts, attaching images and tables copied from other sources) or some automatic features (automatically report trades with space to comment about them). But, as I said, even a simple text feature would be a welcome improvement.

2. Add 3 levels of visibility, instead of just 2. Right now there's only "hidden" and "visible". It would be handy to add another level. For example: Hidden - Monitoring - Visible. I'll try to explain why.

Like many active traders and investors, I have a lot of investments, and some of them are old and semi-forgotten, and I don't want to see them anymore (but in rare occasions). Of course I want to keep them in the portfolio for having an historical overview of the performance. These could be the truly "hidden" investments (or "level 3" of visibility). I dont want to see them UNLESS I specifically want to.

In other investments I may be less active, or I just exited the investment, but I still want to monitor it. This would be the "level 2" of visibility.

Finally, there are the investment that I consider most important, in which I have a current position. This would be the "level 1" of visibility.

What is the (BIG) advantage? The fact that I could quickly browse level 1 and 2 without going through the dozens (or hundreds) of old, level 3 investments. Or, for quick reference, I could choose to browse only level 1 investments, without having to go through all the others.

I hope I'm clear, again, english is not my language.

Thanks for your attention and your great product.

John
