CSP maths

[Fly4ngler]

Trying to test but there is an error calculating profits on simple CSP. Below you can see $0.57 premium received and $0.50 paid to close per contract on 2 CSP contracts,. The total profit should be $14 instead $13

Yes. PTAL at #14 but there's also a discussion going on to improve the data model to v2, so that might be fixed then.

@Fly4ngler in fact, if you could pull the branch and test #14, it might fix your issue and then I could merge the PR.

The result is the same using the new branch #14, in addition I've noticed that after deleting the default commission cost (0.65) the dashboard shows $1.30 instead $0 (2 contracts * 0.65) and I had to edit/delete to keep no commissions cost .
I've loaded data for 4 of my positions and still not able to find the average/base cost of any of the single share s in order to know above which price should I place covered calls. Could you please guide me on this?

[MarkT1065]

ok thanks for testing that branch. I've long known commissions weren't exactly accurate, but they were Good Enough™ for my wheeling tracking. Now that more people are using this software, it's worth fixing.

Like I mentioned above, there's a v2 data model discussion in #17. I'll be sure commissions are better calculated in that version.

[Fly4ngler]

what about the cost basis per share? is present in any place and I'm missing it or doesnt exist yet?

[MarkT1065]

that calculation doesn't exist (yet)
