<<Purchase Price + (Purchase Price - Today's Price), right?>>

That works for me.

If you short $20 and it falls to $17 you are $3 ahead.

20 + 20 - 17 = 23 is $3 ahead.

Add some character next to the stock symbol to denote a short. Maybe just a "-".

If it isn't too much trouble or doesn't work right.

Looks easy. Except for me who has to post some kind of ruling language without adding too much Swedish flavor.

So we have the following new issues to add to the header for the next round I guess:

1. No more than 5 line items (stocks) at any time
2. Selling all or none of each stock
3. No more than 1 stock short at any time as PP+(DP-PP)
PP = Purchase Price.
DP = Price of the Day.
