That sounds to me like it's using a different exchange rate from one day to another, and I'd agree with your assessment in that case. I would have thought that the exchange rate in the transaction would be used.
You are correct. I have an amount of something (shares, foreign currency, whatever) worth (nominally) what I paid for it.
Mind you, I can't wrap my head around the subtleties that seem to apply on this report.
There should not be any subtleties in a TB, it is an internal document not a public facing one, the tax people don't ask for your trial balance in any place I know unless they think you are bad person in the first place.
If I don't buy or sell some of whatever it is, I just have what I have for TB purposes.
If I want to place a value on whatever I put a price in the price database on a date and use a Balance Sheet report.
The TB is about *actual* tx not values at some putative point in time later. -- Wm _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
