I’ve mine set to Most Recent since I was only concerned with current Balance Sheet and P&L statements, but I can see now using the bar charts and historical reports that Nearest In Time is much more entertaining. Thanks! > On May 23, 2017, at 11:19 PM, Edward Doolittle > wrote: > > My unders

As for initial value concerns, if there is no other transactional value, that’s the only one used. If you only bought the EUR stocks once, there is only one value to average. If you made more than one purchase then there will be a calculation for GC to do. Weighted average only works on transact
