Hi Sagar,
you don't need to use the same symbol name in beancount as you use for
lookup. You can define it in the commodity metadata
e.g. something like (I'm using alphavantage price source here, but yahoo
should work the same way)
2010-01-01 commodity MYSUPERCOMMODITY
price: "USD:alphavantage/price:TSLA:USD"

Well, looks like bean-price doesn't support Google Finance. That was a
bit confusing since the documentation still refers to google finance
and I had to go down the issues in the mailing list and the GitHub
repo for bean-price to figure that part out.
The issue with Yahoo Finance is that for some Indian securities, it
uses the format, 0P0000XVUH.BO, which bean count doesn't accept since
it starts with a zero. Using the Yahoo Finance website and the
ISIN, INF846K01EH3 works. But that doesn't work for bean-price and it
returns an error with the ISIN.
So I'm a bit stumped on what to do. Appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks,
Sagar

Hi Martin, sorry for the late reply. For some reason I never got
this digest in my email inbox.
OK, understood about the underscores and using dashes instead.
Problem is that the tickers for these funds in Google Finance use
underscores - which means updating the prices on a regular basis
won't work, if I understood the part of price fetching correctly
Thanks

The problem is not your currencies, it's the account names.
Account names do not support underscores. Use dashes instead.
(They probably should (mabe), but I'm not going to change the
syntax in stable/v2).
I'm not sure what the invalid currency error is, needs more detail

Hi,
I'm trying to import my mutual fund transactions into
Beancount. The mutual fund security names are in the
format, "ADIT_BSL_FRON_YK3Z7Z", which are the ticker names
from Google Finance.
Initially I had tried to create transactions like:
Assets:Broker:ADIT_BSL_FRON_YK3Z7Z 100
ADIT_BSL_FRON_YK3Z7Z {10 USD}
Assets:Broker:ADIT_BSL_NIFT_136TO8I
100 ADIT_BSL_NIFT_136TO8I {9 USD}
and so and so forth.
This threw up a "Invalid Token" error. So I thought, maybe
Beancount has some restrictions on account names. So then
I moved to the following format:
Assets:Broker 100 ADIT_BSL_FRON_YK3Z7Z {10 USD}
Assets:Broker 100 ADIT_BSL_NIFT_136TO8I {9 USD}
and I'm now getting an "Invalid Currency" error.
I'm following the examples from this page -
https://beancount.github.io/docs/how_inventories_work.html,
as what I want to achieve is:
1. Track per security inventory
2. Track cost basis and networth, the latter by pulling
the latest market price from Google Finance.
Appreciate any advice on how to get this working
Thanks
Sagar
