Yes. An example weighted average price from a series of
transactions is:
1 units @ $10.50 ea $10.50
2 units @ $12.75 ea $25.50
4 units @ $8.75 ea $35.00
3 units @ $16.50 ea $57.00
====================================
10 units $12.00 ea $120.00
12.00 a unit is the weighted average price, calculated as
((10.50*1) + (12.75 * 1) + (8.75 * 4) + (16.50 * 3))/10
This number seems to agree with what actually came out of pocket.
Note that as I sell units at different prices, this doesn't affect
what I paid per unit, the only thing that can change that is buying more.

If I understand the question, no. It's not the average of the
prices in the commodity database, it's the average of prices you paid.

Not thinking in depth, that sounds like profit.
