What do YOU mean by “pull the current balance”? Are you speaking about the SHARE balance, or the pie-in-the-sky* DOLLAR balance? GnuCash tracks primarily the former (using the afore-mentioned transactions), while providing some tools that help with the latter (the Quotes features provided and stored in the priceDB). I suspect you are looking for information regarding the latter. If the shares are correct, then adjusting the daily prices of the held commodities (using the Get Quotes function) should yield a current balance that matches your broker. I believe that GnuCash doesn’t actually store the balances for any account; it calculates them based on a number of factors (such as the transactions affecting holdings, and the commodity values, if applicable). So pulling a balance into GnuCash wouldn’t make sense. David * Note that, until you cash in your holdings, this value doesn’t actually accrue to you, which is why I call it “pie-in-the-sky”. It’s also why in the US they don’t tax you on that increase. It’s only when you sell that the money becomes real. > > My Schwab bank account works fine; I am able to pull transactions and the > balance information is included (although the "Online actions" - "Get > Balance" command does not result in anything, so I have to use "Get > Transactions..." to get a bank account balance). > > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/Schwab-Brokerage-account-Roth-OFX-tp4691991p4692012.html > Sent from the GnuCash - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > _______________________________________________ > gnucash-user mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user > ----- > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
