ACCOUNTS

I use MS Money to keep records of my trading activity, income and expenses. Setting up the program to work with trading as opposed to daily book-keeping is explained in my basic guide and within the instructional videos.

Here is a record of my quarterly accounts since I started trading in 2002.
