Can't we have 4 Lot Identification default choices?

There was talk last January about an update that added default Lot Identification choices. There are 4 Lot ID choices; First In, Last In, Minimum Gain and Maximum Gain. Yet there are only 2 default choices; First In and Last In. Let's finish the job!

    And the choices should be worded the same as in the Specify Lots Sold dialog:
    First Shares In
    Last Shares In
    Minimum Gain
    Maximum Gain

    Currently the first choice is "Quicken Default (First shares in for Equities)" which is confusing - the choice is for all securities, not just equities, and when making this selection it is not helpful to know that this is the default in the Specify Lots Sold dialog.

    I agree completely!! For me, "minimum gain" is my default behavior.

    I'll mention that if you DON'T specify exact lots to your broker when selling ... the brokerage is almost certain to select First In, First Out (AKA, FIFO) for all securities being sold.
