    Trading shares sheet

    Hello, I want to make a basic spreadsheet showing wins and losses on the stockmarket. I'm just practicing on demo accounts and just want to try and get the hang of it so need a spreadsheet to see what I win/lose. Please help

    Say COLUMN B represents BUY TRADES
    In B3 I BUY shares at a price of 1000.
    In B4 I type in the final price of the shares.
    If the value increases to say 1100 then I've made 100 (and this +100 goes automatically into B5 and the box gets coloured green).

    If the value of the shares decreases to say 700 then I've lost 300 (and B5 reads -300 and the box turns red).


    Say COLUMN C represents SELL TRADES
    In C3 I SELL shares at a price of 1000.
    In C4 I type in the final price of the shares.
    If the value increases to say 1100 then I've lost 100 (and this -100 goes automatically into C5 and the box gets coloured red).

    If the value of the shares decreases to say 700 then I've made 300 (and B5 reads +300 and the box turns green).

    Thank you

    I'm new to speedsheets. Haven't got a clue. Pleae advise where to paste the formula etc

    Hello

    In B2 I typed : 1000
    In B3 I typed : 1100
    In B4 I typed : =B3-B2
    (This way I get a positive value in B4 if the value in B3 is larger than what's in B2 and vice versa)

    In C2 I typed : 1000
    In C3 I typed : 1200
    In C4 I typed : =C2-C3
    (This way I get a negative value in C4 if the value in C3 is larger than what's in C2 and vice versa)

    I do not know how to colour the boxes GREEN for positive results and RED for negative

    Set up two conditional formatting rules, one that colours cells larger than or equal to 0, and the other less than 0.

    If you need more detailed help, attach a sample workbook.
