Maybe I should still use the sell numbers, but not the sell values when calculating averages... I'll run some trials...

@Hstig, could you give me something to base the calculations on? Shouldn't the ave buy price not be affected by sales? Anyone else know? Even so, the%gain or loss doesn't affect your standing, only your current holdings, cash on hand and tax owed do.

I'm using a rather dodgy internet connection... About 2km from the west most point of africa right nowso I'm not sure if the deposit letters got to everyone. If you don't have it in an hours time please could you let me know.

What should your remaining average cost be?
At the moment I do this (pseudocode), for a sale, the number of shares is negative:
price_per_share = 0;
Repeat for all transactions of the same stock symbol;
price_per_share = price_per_share + number_of_shares*stock_price/number_of_shares;
End repeat;

It'll suck to see all the cash I invested lose a big chunk, but if we get a big correction, and it looks like the recovery begins (again assuming I'll be able to recognise that) I'll pull out as much as I can from my homeloan and go bargain hunting...
