I was wondering if it was possible to code an entry into the category section of the preferences. I would like to be able to set some of my own custom fields for my project. If possible, can you show some sample code of how that would work? For example, let's say I want to evaluate my risk on each stock. I need a field to store the risk% value. This way, I can create a column that calculates this risk percentage against each stocks price and my current investment amount.

It is possible to make custom columns, calculated columns, and scriptable columns. There is a tutorial in the Developers section (under Articles) that deals with how to do scriptable custom columns as an extension, so you can do your custom calculation and set the risk field as desired.

Not what I am looking for. I want to give the users a location where they can set or change the configuration of values I collect from them for columns User should be able to update it anytime.

You want your own page in the Options->Preferences tree. That's possible, but requires a COM DLL plugin. You would have to use our C++/COM SDK.
