: C. Macheras : Well Hello,
Were you able to read the following? http://www.fundmanagersoftware.com/intrtv.html#version102 This documents how to control whether prices are
updated in pence or pounds. I just did a test
with SCIN and EMA. The "yahoo_uk=X" line correctly
controlled how the prices were updated. They were
both updated in pounds with the line gone, and with X = 1
they were updated in pence. This requires your symbols be recorded with the *L suffix. Right click
on your investment, and choose "Edit/Name/Symbol/Currency"
to adjust the symbol. Thanks,
Mark
