Hal, If you did that, the spreadsheet wouldn't be able to automatically monitor open positions. You can work your way backward if you have to: Example >> You knew you made 27.5 pts. trading today on 35 contracts traded round turn. You could divide 27.5 by 35 = .786 net profit per contract. So as long as your 35 buys you report are .786 less than your 35 sells, you've done the same thing. You probably already knew your average trading price today was around 1287, So you could report: B 35 @ 1287 - S 35 @ 1287.786. If working it backward like that is easier for you, that's fine with me, as I'm not concerned with what specific price you report your avg. traded price at, as long as it leads to the correct results for the day. Reporting like this will save me untolds amount of time as well, as their are 16 reports to input every trading day. Thank you, David
