Cost Basis Calculation
The system uses the average cost method by default. When you buy more shares, the weighted average cost basis updates automatically.
Tax lots are tracked separately for Tax-Loss Harvesting, supporting FIFO, LIFO, and specific lot identification.
Best Practices
- Record transactions promptly for accurate performance tracking
- Include all fees and commissions — they affect cost basis
- Use the correct transaction date, not the entry date
- Review transaction history regularly for accuracy
