When FastBreak is launched, it will read all the family names in your FastTrack directo-
ries (Ft\Ftdef, Ft\Userdef, and Ft\Ft4win\Sftdef), including user created families, and load
all the fund names including your FNU files. If FastBreak hits an error during the load-
ing of your FNU files this indicates you have a corrupt FNU file. You will need to move
all your FNU files from your FastTrack (FT) folder to a temporary location. Now, try to
restart FastBreak. If FastBreak launches you will need to determine which of your FNU
files is corrupted. This can be done by moving the files one at a time from the temporary
location and launching FastBreak after each transfer.
The menu may initially look very complicated but is quite logical and user friendly. We
will step through each menu item and describe each feature. FastBreak uses the very
common Windows Tab and Tool Bar method of presenting functions and data.
Funds/Index Tab
When FastBreak launches the Funds/Index Tab is on top. See the previous page. This
screen is used to select your Trading Family and Money Market Fund to use in the trad-

Selecting your strategy trading family
FastBreak allows selection of a prebuilt family of funds, either a family built by Fast-
Track or user-built family. See your FastTrack manual on how to build a trading family.
All the available families will be shown in the top Families available for selection box.
Put the cursor in the empty line just above the first family name and start to type the
name of the family to be traded. FastBreak will find the family as the name is typed.
Note: The indexing may have problems if you have family names starting with unusual
