I'm not really sure about the price entered vs F::Q price. I would
imagine that if you are tracking stock, you would be interested in
the exact real price you bought/sold it, which is not necessarily
exactly the price you get from F::Q. Wouldn't that mean that the
price entered should be preferred over F::Q prices at least in some
cases ?
I was thinking about multiple currency transactions when I said I would
prefer F::Q prices to transaction prices in the price DB. For stock,
etc., transactions your point makes sense. In that case the price
implied by a buy or sell is more likely to be a "real" price that
should be recorded in the price DB. On the other hand, my experience
is that the transaction price is more likely to match the F::Q price
for stock transactions so it matters less which you use. Considering
all this, I guess I still prefer to use F::Q prices over transaction
prices in the price DB if both exist.
To address another point, the Advanced Portfolio report only uses the
price DB to calculate the current value of the commodity (and other
things derived from current value such as unrealized gain). Basis and
realized gain are always calculated from actual transactions and their
implied prices. I'm not sure about other reports.
