Hello,
Excellent program especially the charting features, but I am a little confused how to use the Portfolio section with prices from London LSE, coming from Yahoo. Unfortunately Alphavantage and IEX don't seem to cover LSE stocks.
The Yahoo quotes come in GBp, pence. Is there a way to have them used for the Portfolio calculations in GBP, to get sensible gain/loss figures?
The Options setting 'convert London prices to GBP' does not seem to have an effect on the prices in the Portfolio section. Changing the currency of the Portfolio does not seem to affect the quotes either.
Please can you clarify how this could be configured for London Yahoo quotes?

Hello Chris,
The options setting 'convert London prices to GBP' does not have an effect on the prices in the Portfolio section. I consider it a bug and I will fix it in the next version.
Regards
Thank you! That will be very useful.
Version 6.1.6 is available for download. You have to select GBP as the portfolio currency and Yahoo as your feed. Chart Geany will convert pence to pounds.
Thank you! This works fine (except that the summary data Day/Overall/Total at the top of the Portfolio page is still in GBp)
Using Yahoo as data source has showed up the poor data quality of the feed of historical prices. For many symbols (example: BHP.L) the historical data changes from GBp to GBP on the last trading day of each month, which makes nonsense of the moving average and other indicators.
Is it possible to edit the raw data in the tables in the data browser? One problem would be that corrections are overwritten when next refreshed, so some kind of flag field to prevent auto updates would be needed. That would be a useful feature.
