Stocks, advanced portfolio and multi-currency

[David T.]

Well, I don't work with multiple currencies, so I'll hope someone else can step in. My feeble understanding, though, is that the entire hierarchy (from the top level down) needs to be in one currency. I am probably wrong, but again, perhaps someone else can give you further aid.

Thanks sunfish62.
Indeed I am using the last version, which is 2.6.9. The OS is Linux/Xubuntu.
I have tried to reproduce the example in section 10.4.2 "Purchasing foreign
stocks" of the Gnucash tutorial and concepts guide, and it works except for
that point, i.e. the currency exchange rate used for both "Basis" and
"Value" columns seems to be today's one, instead for "Basis" I think it
should be the one used in the day of the transaction/buy.
As a check I've observed the following: if I manually change today's
currency rate, from e.g. AUD to EUR, in the "CURRENCY" tree of the price
editor, both values of the report do change (which to me seems wrong). On
the contrary, if I manually change today's value of the stock in the price
editor --> "FUND" --> whatever is the brokerage account.. only the "Value"
column changes, but not the "Basis" (which looks correct).
The brokerage account is properly set, i.e. in the currency of the stock
(say, AUD), while my base accounts are in EUR. So I don't think my issue is
the same of that of Stefano.
Thanks in advance,
G.
