I guess the first step is to verify that the system time and date is correct and the operating system's time zone setting is correct. RBM On 02/17/2018 07:10 PM, Justin Smith wrote: Hi, Gnucash is not updating stock quotes correctly for me. The stock price is correct but an incorrect date

Hi, The lock file is only there when the file is opened, and when you save and close (assuming this is done correctly and completely), then the lock file should be deleted. So if the LCK file is there while the Gnucash file is not being used, then this tells you the Gnucash application wasn't

Ron, You made the right choice. Barring a price-to-market accounting requirement that never applies to individuals, the book value is what you actually paid. When you get around to selling you’ll get taxed on the difference between the net selling price and that purchase price. If you want to

Greg, It should be possible to track publicly traded options just like stocks if you know the symbol and the exchange where it is traded. However, I personally have not tried that. Since those options expire rather quickly, the data would tend to clutter up and bloat your data file after time,
