Oh sure you can, instead of entering "short" or "long" in that box, put in that box "S1270p" and it would represent "short the 1270 put," we're going to presume we're talking about March... the price goes where the price goes, and the dollar value would then be calculated only after the put is closed out... very simple... for example, long a 1320 call would be L1320c, and so on... is that helpful? BTW, from the looks of this morning's prices, it looks like I did the right thing...<g> GZ

If you want to record accurate data, you can't just "assume" anything or "ignore" one or another trade just because it won't "fit" into the formatted framework, this makes no sense whatsoever and is not fully honest, it must be entered and it must be counted, make it fit, or your data would be inaccurate... you've already "ignored" earlier trades, which I've posted for you... if accurate records cannot be documented, and some trades "ignored" at your choosing, then why bother recording anything at all?
