See attached Securities Detail screenshot. Would it be possible to:

a) Horizontally align data. In example, 427.01 is considerably higher than Shares:

b) Add a space or two between labels and data, for better readability.

b) Add currency sign to currency fields to easily distinguish money fields from non. (currency fields = Current Value, Cost Basis and Cost/Share)

Thanks in advance.

   What version of MD, what platform?

   1 You may have a font selection issue, my own horizontally align.

   2. I have one full space between labels and data, which provides readability.

   3. The order of items is set well, in my opinion, and prevents clutter - having USD 4-5 times in your case (I have unrealized gains as well, making 5 USD symbols seems like overkill.) Also using Currency id versus prefix (or) suffix, keeps the table consistent.

   [i.e. table shows shares, price WITH USD, then 3-4 more USD items without USD, then finish with % change.]

   Here is one screenshot from me:

   I haven't tested this (as I rarely use multiple currencies), but I could see point 3 if price was in a different currency than the others (if that can happen).
