The Shadow Knows – That is a line from long-running radio program ‘The Shadow’ during the go-go days of the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. Well, in 2012 there is another ‘shadow’ out there – and it KNOWS ALL. I’m talking about the portfolio shadow, a platform that tracks trades, performance and positions. The very easy-to-use interface is a great way to track p/l for portfolios and how they measure up vs relative bogeys. Security prices are updated at marks from the closing print (or very near it).
For me, the order entry portion is the most attractive part of portfolio shadow. I need something basic and simple to use. Much like an order entry ticket, you just need to enter the relevant data with correct dates, times, quantities and then watch it work for you. I particularly like recap of your daily portfolio performance and different timeframes. There are many other wonderful features including expiration of options, cash out/in calculations and conversions.
I use the portfolio shadow to track our trades daily positions and will soon have a customer viewing tab on the website for all to see (just like the one below). I’m excited to share this with you and equally thrilled to be tracked by professional service such as the ‘shadow’. Take a look at the site here http://www.portfolioshadow.com/ and take the demo. Below is a screen shot of what the portfolio view is like.
