Notes:
*This tool is useful when implementing a 'scale-in/scale-out' trading strategy on long positions.
*Cost Average is the average cost of the shares purchased, without regard to any sales activity.
*Cost Basis figures selling profits into the cost average.
*When Cost Basis is zero, the remaining shares held are 'free'. Put them in your 'parking lot' portfolio.
*Negative Cost Basis means free shares + pure profits.
*Cost Basis greater than Cost average means you bought high and sold low.
*Cost Basis does NOT consider capital gains tax implications.
