A distance, not an exit.

At a chosen 48 CU/share, the distance from an invented 50 CU/share purchase is 2 CU/share. Multiply by 80 shares to get a price-only scenario loss of 160 CU.

Read before comparing

The 48 CU/share figure is an invented comparison, not a fill, stop guarantee or floor under the price.

Each comparison is hypothetical for the same 80-share position; costs are excluded.

04 / comparisonInvented example boundary

Invented price-only scenario limit: 200 CU. Price-only scenario loss for 80 shares at the chosen 48 CU/share: 160 CU. Difference: 200 CU − 160 CU = 40 CU under boundary. The boundary is arbitrary, not advice, and neither an execution price nor a cap on actual loss.

If a comparison is above purchase price, the arithmetic changes sign; it does not imply a promised gain. None of these rows is an observed transaction.

Two translucent blank overlays on an empty accounting sheet — Supporting still life / comparison layerUnmarked overlays suggest a separate comparison layer. They show neither a price nor a loss cap; the chosen-price arithmetic and arbitrary boundary remain in the live sheet above.

Why a limit can pass on paper

The invented 160 CU price-only scenario is 40 CU below an invented 200 CU example boundary. That only compares two numbers under stated assumptions; it does not bound actual loss.

When there is a fill

A separate invented completed sale at 46 CU/share produces a different result. Follow that reconciliation on Fills.
