Imported file format
Import file TransCalc takes as an input a list of transactions stored in a CSV (comma separated value) file. The CSV file is usually exported from a broker service. An example file is included which may look like
| time | equity | buy/sell | amount | price | ccomission |
| 2018-05-31-13.14.06 | equity2 | K | 20 | 10 | 1 |
| 2018-06-04-09.32.09 | equity2 | S | 10 | 14 | 1 |
| 2018-06-30-13.14.01 | equity1 | K | 20 | 10 | 0,2 |
| 2018-07-01-09.32.05 | equity1 | S | 10 | 14 | 2 |
The columns are:
- datetime - transaction date and time*

- buy_sell - the buy or sell indication. If omitted, the sign (+ or -) of the amount decides about the direction of a trade.
