Hi Grabber, how I got an imbalance in the shares, while you were so careful to buy and sell equal amounts (total)? Easy, because I balanced $$$, not shares. Buys are generally with cheaper shares, sells with more expensive ones, so when you buy and sell the same number of shares and balance dollars, you end up with some shares sold left; indeed your profit.

The reason I did this was because of earlier posts, where a Minimum Buy/Sell amount was used, and the difference in shares was used to update PC. When, in your example with varying Buy and Sell $$$, you balance shares, there is no difference in shares to use for a PC update, so I tried to generalize the procedure. (BTW, there could be another option for the PC update when you balance shares, but I wouldn't know what.)

But when, for your spreadsheet, you just use those minimum $$$ amounts again, you could forget about my generalization.

Regards,

Qarel
