i too, have my stats up there, and has a number of bugs to it. It shows that i have several positions open from last year, plus i have a 47% loss for this month.

IMO-- you wouldn't find the "holy grail" outside of yourself. What you seek is a tool that YOU use. You are the holy grail. You can use only one tool, or a hundred, but the result you get reflects back to how YOU use them.
