As a novice user of Excel, my first discovery was that Excel is not user
friendly.
Excel 97, 5.0 etc. are really excellent programs with many user friendly
features but the "environment" is not user friendly. It is not a "get in
your car and turn turn the key" environment like Metastock.
When you open a "page" or worksheet or spreadsheet, you only see a small
part of what's available. In 97, the sheet is (I've been told) 12,000+
square feet. 6 times bigger than most houses. Lots of emptiness. Pages of
emptiness in fact.
Excel is basically a programming "space" and I soon learned to think
"programming" about everything that I did. Especially linking "things" and
"actions" together.
Excel is organized into workbooks with sheets (i.e., tabs). Sort of like a
ring-binder with a couple of pages in it. There's room for lots more. A lot
more.
Room for lots of "linked" sections. Lots of "linked" pages within each
section. Lots of "linked" rows and columns within each page.
So you need a plan, you definitely need an organizing plan.
This is where nobody helps you, in using Excel for trading.
Best regards
