In the case of FIFO the position average price will consist, of the fill prices for 2 and 4 in this case. Which is 4295.875.

How can it make any sense, not to include the order quantities. And we would like to hear from other users on this. We are not going to put a faulty calculation method in. Makes no sense at all. We do not believe that is what TT is doing. It makes no sense.
