: : : : : : Hi,
: : : : : : I update UK share prices via Internet and Yahoo UK.
: : : : : : so far Yahoo UK delivered the prices in pence. Now i receive the prices in pounds (13.66 instead of 1366 for instance) So a dramatic fall in chart prices appears. How can i remedy it? Am i missing something?
: : : : : : Thank you

: : : Are all of your prices getting updated in Pounds now? You can go to Yahoo-UK with your broswer
: : : and see how the prices are being reported. If
: : : they have changed to pounds you can either adjust
: : : the way FM retrieves them or change the units
: : : you're tracking in. To adjust the way FM
: : : updates them, see:

: : : To change units you can use the fmscale.exe
: : : program written for the Euro conversion. See:

: 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
