This example indicates that no specific set of defaults will load when FastBreak is
launched. If you push the small button, a default file selection menu will be launched. It
will list all your saved Default (*.dft) files. You can select a file from this list and it will

file will be loaded. Note: This feature is often overlooked. If you have a favorite strat-

the cutoff point for a fund to be held, that is, if a held fund falls below the point (On sell
