I think I must have re-read your email 5 times, I'm still not clear on what you're trying to do. - All your rates are set to 0.70, and after conversion the money is in AUD. - Why are your prices commented out? - Look at the CONVERT() function in the source code, here: https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/src/4c79f94e085880bb1d4b469c931435eb246855bf/beancount/query/query_env.py#lines-797 there's a variant which accepts a date. - Absolute worst case scenario you could always write some Python to do this. - Patrick: This looks like a deposit of checks in another currency, not an investment, cost is not the right method here AFAICT, price is correct.
