Okay thanks. The theoretical price is only true for the close on the 16th. so for any other buy price prior what would be the buy price? Buy Price - Dividend = Dividend Adjusted Buy Price

or Sell Price + Dividend  = Sell Price is a better solution  

E.G.

CBA

Buy Date = 2 Feb. 2015

Buy Qty. = 100 shares

Buy Open Price (Adjusted for announced div.)  $89.30 - $1.98 = $87.32

Sell Date = 17 Feb. 2015

Sell Open Price = $90.37

Profit = ($3.05 x 100) - 40 (brokerage in/out)

Profit = $265

OR

Buy Date = 2 Feb. 2015

Buy Qty. = 100 shares

Buy Open Price = $89.30

Sell Date = 17 Feb. 2015

Sell Open Price = $90.37 + $1.98 = $92.35

Profit = ($3.05 x 100) - 40 (brokerage in/out)

Profit = $265

AdjustedDivvySellPrice = SellPrice + GetFnData("DividendPerShare");
