Yes, it is easy. Simply append the output of bean-price. Don't run
bean-price when markets are open :). Problem solved: no intraday prices
used. I use the power of computers to run bean-price at 3am.
Anyway, there's nothing wrong with just using intraday prices, too.
Intraday prices aren't "wrong" and closing prices aren't "right". The
closing price is just the intraday price at 4:30.

Dunno. Since the currency is required ("Supported format is
CCY:module/SYMBOL") I see what you're saying. I'm not sure if there's some
other entry point to SourcePrice or not.

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. Where do you want to
see this CHF? In bean-web or...? Don't you just set your operating_currency
to CHF? Anyway, it *does* sound like you're talking about transitive
prices. How is this different from transitive prices?
