Hello,
I don't really understand the price editor. Suppose it says:
GBP (British Pound) - CAD - <date> - <price>
Does this mean that:
1 GBP = <price> CAD
Or that:
1 CAD = <price> GBP
?
Suppose my reporting currency is CAD, and I want to include the price of
GBP and EUR. There are two ways that the price editor could look like,
and I don't know which one is the right one:
Option 1:
---------
CURRENCY
> GBP
> GBP (British Pound) - CAD - <date> - <price>
> EUR
> EUR (Euro) - CAD - <date> - <price>
Option 2:
---------
CURRENCY
> CAD
> CAD (Canadian Dollar) - GBP - <date> - <price>
> CAD (Canadian Dollar) - EUR - <date> - <price>
Which one is right?
If I want to take a bank account in EUR and have a total asset value
expressed in CAD, which one do I want? Which one do you use to convert
Euros to Canadian dollars?
Thanks for the help. I have to say that I'm mighty confused by the price
editor. But I'll have to figure it out soon because now I want to start
adding stocks as well. Things will get more complicated when I buy
stocks. I want to buy some stocks that are sold in US dollars, but I
want to report my total assets in Canadian dollars.
Please help.
Best,
Daniel.
