Re: Same symbol used in different portfolios[ Message Board ] [ Archives ] [ Search ] Posted by Mark on February 22, 2006 at 09:26:05:In Reply to: Re: Same symbol used in different portfolios posted by Tim Gadd on February 21, 2006 at 22:25:11: : : : I realize that the file names for the same stock used in different subportfolios must be different if saved in the same directory, but if the symbols for each subportfolio are saved in a different directory, must they still have different file names? : : : I am getting some strange MASTER portfolio value plots and am wondering if it could be because some of the same stocks are contained in both subportfolios. The file names are the same for both instances of the same stock, although they are in separate directories. For example ... : : : : : : If they must be different, is it ok to change the file names in one of the subportfolios from the portfolio editor? : : : TIA for help. : : : : It is perfectly fine to have the same filename in different folders. This shouldn't be the cause of any troubles. What is it that you're seeing strange in the value plots? : : Thanks, : Hello Mark, : I have a few spikes (sudden drop in value without withdrawals from either account) that I haven't been able to locate the cause of. I'll probably just have to scour my transaction activity for the days involved. : I've recently added an account that I have not traded very actively in for some time. I'm finding that when importing a large amount of transaction history (I'm importing from Scottrade), there is sometimes a lot of clean up work to do. I'm having a devil of a time getting this account reconciled. Any tips regarding things to look for when having problems getting the account to balance with the current value? Or any suggestion on how to proceed through the process of reconciling? : Thanks, Mark.
If you see an unexplained change in value in the portfolio I would suggest doing a portfolio value report on that date. This way you can see which investment is responsible, and then look at that investment's price and/or share balance. To reconcile an account I would recommend focusing on the share balance, and not the value at first. You can just create a portfolio value report, and look at the share balance in Fund Manager versus your broker statement. If the share balance is wrong, click on that investment in the report to open up the Data Register and look at the "Investments (all)" data type to see all the transactions that are causing that share balance. Once you get the share balances correct, the valuations will be correct, once you have retrieved valid closing prices. Thanks,
