Hi Andrea

Glad to be of some service :--)

I don't really understand what the GnuCash Namespace is intended for, but it doesn't seem to make any difference in this case. It is a useful way of organizing your securities in the Security Editor.


I had a quick look at the Finance::Quote code for the ftfunds (Financial Times Unit Trusts) module. It works by accessing a specific Financial Times web page for each security and "screen scraping" the data from the page. The problem is that the Financial Times web site has changed, and the expected web page (http://funds.ft.com/UK/Tearsheet/Summary?s=IE00BMWWJZ56) no longer returns data.

What to do?

If you are familiar with the perl programming language, you could try and fix the FTfunds.pm module yourself. It should be using this web page:
https://markets.ft.com/data/funds/tearsheet/summary?s=IE00BMWWJZ56:EUR

Otherwise, you might be able to find some assistance on the Finance::Quote web site here:
http://finance-quote.sourceforge.net/


Regards

Geoff

Next, in GnuCash, I set up the security to retrieve prices as "Unknown" / "morningstarch" and was able to retrieve a price successfully.  See attached screenshot.  I am running GnuCash 4.4 on Windows 10.


Hi, Geoff.


First of all, thanks for the answer!

Next, I saw that I have the fund set up under the FUND namespace whereas you used EUREX: is there anything to it or just a matter of personal preference?

The key was to use the "unknown" radiobutton instead of the single source, I'm not entirely clear what the difference is but that enabled "morningstarch", so I'm happy.


Anyone else with ideas how to fix the two funds from ftfunds?

IE00BMWWJZ56:EUR and LU0331286574:EUR


Thanks,

Andrea.
