    The ability to produce a selection screen where all the selected securities listed on the screen have either /or both of these selection criteria

    no transactions and /or

    zero current holdings

    which allows securities to be selected for deletion and / or removal from the watch list would be a very useful enhancement

    A stock which has been sold in its entirety should automatically no longer be included in daily quotes updates, even if "Download Quotes" is checked in the Security List.

    As a workaround …
    To clean out your Watch list go into Tools / Security List. Uncheck the "Watch List" box for each of the undesired securities, one click at a time.

    When adding new securities, "add to Watch List" usually is marked by default. Remember to uncheck it if you don't want it in the Watch List.

    A Portfolio View, with "show closed lots" enabled and sorted by Shares should give you a report of all your "zero holdings" at the top, followed by active (non-zero) holdings.
