Mark,

I’m having some problems of relating to your expressions and the way things are graphed and reported. Let me give you a specific example & perhaps you could comment. Perhaps you could explain. Let me give you an example.

I purchased:

200 shares of X at 29.35 € (fee of 84.85 €). Total cost is 5,954.85 € or 29.77 €/share. This value is what the French call (PAM) and corresponds to:

Graph: your cost line
Report: OOP basis/s (end)

I sell 133 shares (I have 67 left), the PAM does not change since all gains are calculated from its initial value.

The green cost line now has changed however, stepping downward.

I now buy 12 shares at 70.25 €/ s (with out any fee). The PAM has now changed since my average purchase price/share for the shares I know have is:

[(67*29.77) + 12*70.25]/(67 + 12) = 35.91 €

What graphic lines and report values show this?
