The fund is not publicly listed so I manually update the unit price in two
ways: once every mid-month when I buy new stocks I update the price in the
fund's tab and once at the beginning of each month I update the price in
the price editor. I have already had "show prices" enabled and it shows the
correct amount of around $2 per unit.

As I mentioned before, the only thing wrong is the Basis: gnc is having the
same basis as the number of stocks (aka shares) in advanced portfolio.

I am doing everything right and compared my setup with this youtube video:

Should I go to price editor and delete the unit prices I have added
manually?
