: I am Canadian but I have a few US stocks. I have set up Fund Manager to translate the US$ prices on these stocks into Canadian $. That works fine. However, the dividend payments I get on my account statements are stated in Canadian $. When I enter them into Fund Manager, it treats them as if they were US dollars and converts them into Canadian $. Is there any way I can tell fund manager that the amount I enter is in Canadian dollars already and that it should not convert it again?
: Thank you

Hi Raymond,

All transactions should be entered in the native currency, assigned to
the investment. You can set the currency for an investment under the
"Investment Properties..." dialog. How have you set up the price translation?
What currency do you have assigned to these US stocks?

If you've assigned an investment to be US$, then transactions would need
to be entered in US$.

Thanks,
Mark
