Position Grouping with Flexible Cost Basis

Every stock position is grouped automatically. When you buy shares at different prices over time, TickerScribe tracks them all and lets you choose the cost basis method that matches your strategy.

Select from FIFO (first in, first out), LIFO (last in, first out), or average cost to calculate your realized P&L. Switch between methods at any time to compare outcomes. Every calculation follows double-entry ledger rules, so your numbers are always correct — down to the penny.

Log Trades in Seconds

Stop wasting time on clunky trade entry. TickerScribe's streamlined sell dialog opens right from your position row. Enter the quantity, price, and date — the journal handles the rest.

Partial sells are supported out of the box. Sell 50 of your 200 shares, and TickerScribe automatically updates your remaining position, adjusts cost basis, and records the realized P&L for those specific shares.

Averaging into a position? The integrated calculator shows your average entry price across all buys in real time. No need for external spreadsheets or tools.

See exactly how each new purchase changes your break-even price. Plan your next add with confidence, knowing the precise impact on your cost basis before you commit.
