You're talking about the case where the currency used to purchase the 
security is not the same as the report's currency, right?  If so then I 
agree that it's not really doing it correctly.  It uses a fixed 
exchange rate between the currency used to purchase the security and 
the report currency.  If you want to propose a patch to fix this, that 
would be great.

I think it works correctly if only one currency is used for all 
purchase and sales transactions and this currency is also used for the 
report.
