Added conditional formatting based on tick size .
Added dropdown for long/short.

something keeps messing up when either i change the instrument and method lists, or when im clearing the journal content because the time keeps getting all jacked up..
is this what that column should be formatted to?
also is there a way to get it to calculate exactly to the penny instead of rounding in the prices? i think it might be happening with the commissions or something, but cant track it down..
as an entry: 7 ticks x 12.5 tick value = 87.5 - 5.07commission = 82.43 total.. the sheet says 82

Time seems right (It's MIL time so 6:30am is 0600 and 5:20pm is1720) just enter the string of hours and minutes.
Prices are not rounded, they are only displayed that way to make it a bit easier on the eyes....you can change the format if you want to... (have a look at net profit on overview tab)

Yes and no.
Yes it makes you unprotect as these cells are locked.
No, they shouldn't be, I changed it so in the next version it is corrected....
Thanks very much for your help! Impossible for me to find all those problems on my own.
I really appreciate it!
