Hi Ron,
This may not be what you are looking for given that you think of Quicken
and the others you mentioned as position management software.
Personally I characterize them as personal finance management tools, not trade
or position management software.
But if it is trade and position management software you are interested in
(at least to my way of thinking), check out Orchid Technologies'
ManusRisco, http://manusrisco.orchidtech.com/manus/index.asp .
Not free, but an excellent tool for both the professional and private trader,
which can help you not only manage your positions, but examine and analyze your
trading.
If on the other hand you are simply looking for something that will allow
you to record your historical trades, track you profit and loss, assist in
computing your estimated quarterly tax payment and generate a 1040 D-1 list of
trades, then I personally prefer a spreadsheet. I've written such and it
isn't difficult to maintain (and I do hundreds of trades a year) if you stay on
top of it daily or at leas weekly. The IRS has been accepting my printout
as a substitute D-1 (about 50 pages year before last) without problem.
Years ago I used Quicken, but after it hiccupped and corrupted over six months
of accounts (including every backup I tried to open or import), I said good by
and good riddance.

management systems
Or do folks use the broker provided tools? Which would work
well if you have one broker or one broker per strategy. Mixing and matching
strategies and brokers would get complicated.

it will become unwieldy over time. I've looked at AceMoney, Quicken and
MoneyDance. Anything else I should consider?
