Stock / Options trading log

[AdventureBear]

Create a stock or options trading log where you ennter as a line item each opening & closing trade. The app then calculates days held, total P/L, %age P/L, total account P/L, a list of equity value if all open trades were closed at market price.

The app should automatically detect a closing order for a prior opening order, and should appropriately use the correct cost basis (purchase price) when selling / closing a partial order.

ie buy 5 shares of XZY on 1/1/18 for $32 each. On 2/1/18 sell 3 shares at $42 and on 3/1/18 sell the remaining 2 shares at $47. Each sale should use the purchase price as it's cost basis and then close out that opening purchase when all bought shares are accounted for.

JUst an idea I implemented in excel tonight except for the last part with partial orders. That's why I think it'd be an interesting project.

I won't be sad if you do not do it. :)

This seems pretty complex for a 1 day project, isn't it? 😅

I don’t know...you’re a smart guy! The complex part for me is splitting the sale and tying into the purchase of not all shares are sold at once.
