It will use whatever value was current at the time of posting. -H (--historical) doesn't really affect the register a whole lot -- except that <Revalued> postings will no longer appear. Where is really makes a difference is with balance reports, since before there was no way at all to see historical values: they were always priced in terms of the present. > If yes, I have the feeling that it looks like the new syntax (@@) where the > value of last posting is ignored in valuation. Is this correct? If you use (@) on all postings, then -H/-V/-X can only use information from ~/.pricedb. If that file doesn't exist, those options will have no effect. Is that what you meant? I'm not sure what you meant by "last posting". In fact, with (@) a given line in the register will _only_ use the last posting's price information, and not its own (for reports like -V). -B will still use the cost value, however. John
