Yeah, but it would have been nice to have it integrated with the performance
report and spreadsheet !!!! Omega did have a solution provider do this
nicely, it's just that it is practically "never available" unless you've got
10 gigs of past price data !!!
It would have been nice to override the built-in restriction of 36
months.....but it is "hardwired" in the binary code.

Who was that listee who said something about "lack of attention to detail" ?
