Stop loss in Quicken for Windows

I would like to create a column so I can enter a stop loss reminder for individual stocks. Is there a way to do this in the investment screen? There are many different labeled columns but none for stop loss reminders.

    No.  There is neither such a column or the ability to set "reminders".

    The Gain/Loss column would be pretty good for this; the number will turn red when there is a loss.

    Not if you have a sizable gain and want to keep some of it. 

    I believe the investing/quicken.com can manage that type of info, but I don’t bother with that site. Use you broker’s site.

    It would be a very nice column to have. it would save me from having to have a separate system set up to keep track of my hard stops and rolling stops. You never want to place a stop on your brokers site as it can be seen and used as a target by traders.

    What make you think others can see your stops?
    They are "public postings".

    BTW given that Quicken's quotes are delayed by at least 15 minutes I would think they aren't very good for monitoring stops.
