20:20:03 <roconnor> how does gnucash compute Value in Advanced Portfolio? My numbers make no sense to me.
20:22:52 <roconnor> oh, the number are better when reported in USD.
20:22:58 <roconnor> but are insane when reported in CAD.
20:23:58 *** sjc has quit IRC
20:23:59 <roconnor> ah
20:24:11 <roconnor> I removed the old CAD prices in the price editor
20:24:16 <roconnor> now the numbers are more reasonable.
20:24:32 <roconnor> Multiple currencies are confusing ;^_^
20:25:14 <roconnor> now to figure out why the Basis is wrong too
20:26:18 <roconnor> ah
20:26:42 <roconnor> if I switch to USD, then the Basis numbers are the correct numbers for the basis in CAD
20:26:51 <roconnor> gnucash seems totally confused
20:26:52 <roconnor> :(
20:27:27 *** cortana has quit IRC
20:28:25 <roconnor> that's dumb. The edit exchange rate box for the transactions know they are values are given in CAD
20:53:25 * roconnor reads http://www.mscs.dal.ca/~selinger/accounting/tutorial.html

23:12:45 <roconnor> ah, http://www.mscs.dal.ca/~selinger/accounting/gnucash.html explains why gnucash's design for multiple currencies is broken.
23:13:04 <roconnor> no wonder I couldn't figure out how to get it to work
