...I've written every advantage it provides on the Port Monkey home page. It would be good to get it running, and refer back to the info page, and try each feature.

Port Monkey features

Cleaner appearance - The number of shares are shown in green or red, to indicate long or short. Insignificant decimal places, arrows and parentheses have been removed. Column headings have been shortened so they don't wrap to a second line. Fidgety trade buttons have been removed. Clutter at the top has been removed, making a lot of data immediately visible.

Efficient and available trade tools - The My Portfolio panel is permanently locked in place. It contains key port info, links, and the trade tools. The Symbol box is automatically filled as the mouse pointer moves over tickers in the Security column. There's a quick-pick Quantity selector with customizable amounts. Empty Quantity is treated as 'max'. Trades do not take you away from the portfolio; trade confirmation appears as a popup window that is easily dismissed with the Enter key. Or, just leave the confirmation window set aside. Note that the trade widget is also available separately, as Chimp for HSX

Custom colors - With the color styler, you can either fix that one thing that has always annoyed you, or go crazy and restyle the entire portfolio. For information and examples, see the Port Monkey Colors page. And, see the usage note, below, about protecting your color styling efforts. *
Meaningful arrows - Port Monkey arrows highlight trends or changes in price since the previous port refresh. Arrows reset automatically each day on the first port refresh after HSX reset. Or, clicking the arrow icon ▲ in the sidepanel will reset them.

Quicker navigation - Hotkeys instantly put the end of the Moviestocks, Starbonds or Derivatives section at the bottom of your screen. This makes it possible to quickly monitor price movements without re-sorting columns, and with lower numbers and down arrows down where they belong. Another hotkey gets you back to the top of a section. For Moviestocks, use < > ; Starbonds, [ ] ; Derivatives, - +, all unshifted.

Custom tagging - Tag any security with a character of your choice, in a selected color, with a short note that will appear as a tooltip. Tag use is limited only by your imagination. Tag post-adjust openers to more easily keep an eye on price movements. Tag top movers each day. Tag bonds by the number of weeks to adjust. Tag every movie opening next summer.

Click any item in the & tag column to add/edit/delete a tag. Any tag can be unique, or like some others. Identical new tags can be created with Click, Enter. The tags column is sortable, but sorting should be done after a port refresh, following any tag editing. See the usage note, below, about protecting your tagging efforts. *

Information pop-ups

Moviestocks - If you're always reaching for a calculator to divide a Moviestock's current price by 2.7 -- to see its HSX-projected weekend opening -- you need reach no more! Just hold down your mouse on the current price, and division by several HSX 'multipliers' has been done for you.
Starbonds - Instantly check the potential gain on your bonds. Click the current price to see the adjust price as estimated by KaiGee.com. Port Monkey displays the estimated adjust price in green or red to illustrate what the math shows; this should not be considered an outright recommendation! Note that data at KaiGee.com is typically updated each Wednesday night. You can hover over the KaiGee.com link, to check the data freshness date.
All securities - click and hold the price paid for any security, and Port Monkey will display the stock, bond or fund's description. Also, you can check the price (and adjust estimate, for bonds) of any security, by entering its ticker in the symbol box, and clicking SBL, or pressing Enter.

Phase view - The Δ column shows movie phase, with C, D and P highlighted in different colors.

Options - Certain Port Monkey settings are user configurable via an Options panel, which is accessed by clicking the heart icon ♥ in the side panel. Select whether to include the HSX nav bar, change color of the data stripe, tweak overall width, as well as the Port Monkey sidepanel dimensions and font size... and more.
