: : I have some stocks which are not in native currency. I have problem importing the historical prices for these stocks. In the manual, I found that:
: : "All price and transaction data is always entered and imported in the native currency of the investment, independent of the state of View / Exchange Rate Adjusted. However, when exporting prices, value, or transactions to a text file, the data are exported according to the current state of View / Exchange Rate Adjusted."
: : When I try to update the price of the stock from the web, Fund Manager will consider the price as native currency. Which is not correct. Great efforts are required when I need to update the prices or add a transaction.
: : Is it possible for Fund Manager to calculate the inputs price based on the currency setting for an investment?

: Hi Tim,

: This is correct, all prices/transactions are entered into an investment in the currency you assign to that investment (its native currency). If an investment is being traded in a different currency, maybe you need to assign it a different currency? I may not have followed the exact case here, could you give some specifics? What currency do you have the investments assigned to? What currency are you buying/selling it in? What currency is it quoted in on the quote server you're using?

: Thanks,

Hi Tim,

Thinking about this a little longer... Maybe you are confusing "native" and "default" currency? The term native currency means the currency you assign to an investment, which can be any of the 8 currencies you set up under "Options / Currency Settings...". You assign the currency property of an investment under "Investment Properties... / General".

The term default currency is the currency you choose to have all your investments displayed in when you have "View / Exchange Rate Adjusted" turned on. The default currency is assigned under "Options / Currency Settings...". If "View / Exchange Rate Adjusted" is turned off, all investments are displayed in their assigned (native) currency.

Thanks,
Mark
