Using stock investment account

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

Did you create a proper commodity for the investment account and change
the account commodity to this new investment commodity?  I suspect not,
because the problem you are seeing (force price to 1) is indicative of the
investment account having a commodity of your currency.

You can fix this by selecting the investment account, clicking on Edit
Account, and then you can reset the commodity.
