    Database for Stock and Option Trading

    I would like to create a DB for stock and option trading. I am not sure how to properly create the tables and which relationships to create. Here are the basic design logic/requirements I have come up with but I can't figure out the proper way to put this into Access:

    Many accounts have many transactions.

    Accounts have the following:


    Flat Rate Commission Price
    Per Contract Commission Price
    Account Number (PK)
    Account Info

    Transactions have the following:
    Date
    Time
    Description (short text)
    Reference Number (PK)
    Stock Type (Stock or Option)

    Stocks have the following:
    Ticker Symbol
    Quantity
    Action
    Transaction Price

    Options have the following:
    Type (Call or Put)
    Strike Price
    Days to Expiration
    Action
    Transaction Price
    Expiration Date
    Ticker Symbol
    Quantity

    Actions:
    Buy to Open
    Sell to Open
    Buy to Close
    Sell to Close

    Any visual/graphic help from someone more experienced would be massively appreciated. Thank you.

    Watch this free youtube video.
    (stock management/inventory)
    There are free data model related to various inventory situations listed here.

    And perhaps this more specific to stocks/options

    This sample db shows getting yahoo finance data directly into Access-- not sure if it's relevant to your needs.
