Hi Tom, With over 77,000 pages in the IRS Tax code you can be forgiven a mistake or two. :)
Plus, I have an advantage you might not have, my girlfriend is a CPA and tax accountant and has been studying the changes for the 2016 tax season.
I don't do FIFO because the price when you get in may not be at the bottom so one might wind up earning more than if you set it for "highest price" as TDAmeritrade let you do. Doing this has let me save a bit a couple of times, especially with inherited positions.
