Recent discussions
Going forward performance roughly coinciding with historically optimized portfolios on this site?
I'm quite new to the site, but I am concerned that a portfolio optimized with past data may have no bearing at all on its future performance. Has anyone been around long enough to speak to this concern. Have you outperformed a relevant benchmark with actual invested money?
Also, if you've been here awhile, what tools on the site do you find most useful?
Thanks for reading!

Colors of plots
A lot of the colors used in plotting multiple investments (like the stock comparison graphs) are very close to each other. It's often very difficult to distinguish between them.
Is it possible to change these colors myself? If not, is that a feature in the pipeline?
Thanks
