[GNC] Not Getting Complete Stock Quotes with Price Database Tool

2018-08-23 Thread Dan Nelms


I am using GnuCash v3.2 Build ID:3.2+(2018-06-24) with Strawberry Perl
Finance::Quote 1.47. It is running on Windows 10. I started using
GnuCash on January 1, 2018 in tandem with Quicken in an effort to get
away from the new Quicken subscription plan.

In the last 3 weeks the Price Database Tool will only provide quotes for
5 to 6 of my stocks and reports it is unable to provide quotes for my
other stocks and funds. I have 1 OTC stock, 3 NYSE stocks, 1 NASDAQ
stock, and 9 mutual funds. Since January I have had no problem getting
quotes for all of them with only an occasional stock not getting a
quote. I my last good quotes retrieved by the price tool for all the
stocks was July 31, 2018. I haven't made any changes that I know of in
the last 60 days that would affect this change. On July 31 everything
was working great. Then in the first week of August it is only partially
working.

What happened on August 1? Did Alpha Vantage start enforcing their 5
calls per minute limit for their free API numbers? Did something else
happen? Am I the only one with this experience? I don't care to get the
quotes manually and then load prices by importing. I need to determine
if GnuCash or Finance::Quote is broken or if Alpha Vantage is changing
the rules. Does anyone know? Thanks for any response.

Dan

Re: [GNC] AlphaVantage Deal

2018-08-23 Thread Bruce Schuck
In my opinion, at $5.00 or more per month one might as well purchase
Quicken (which is now a subscription based product I believe).

For the F::Q developers, I've been working on module for World Trading
Data. Free use is limited to 250 per day, and it's only US traded
equities and funds. See pull request #88 on the F::Q github site. It
needs a little polishing, but it has been working for me.

It's apparently only for US securities, which might be ok for a subset 
of users.  There is an alphavantage_batch.pm out there.

I think most users here are on the once-a-day sync between GnuCash and

the

markets, so I proposed a tier that would provide 128 queries/day at 2
queries/second before dropping back down to the free level of 1 quote /

20

seconds for a monthly fee of USD$5/month. AlphaVantage expressed
willingness to provide something along those lines - what do you folks
think? Would this be something worth $5/mo, $10/mo, or are most users

happy

at the free levels?

Regards,
Ethan

I would gladly pay $10/mo for reliable quotes as long as I can get a wide
range of sources. Many funds that I use are not supported by AlphaVantage.

My $0.2

Thanks John.  I read the "Tao of Objects" a decade or so ago.  But
that's as close as I've gotten to doing anything with that class of
programming.

Looks like C and Scheme are on my todo list.  I'll check to see if there
is a CBT for Scheme.

Pascal and HP-SPL are both Algol descendants, as is C, so learning that will 
likely be closest to your work experience. I don't think there are many people 
writing new code in procedural languages like COBOL, FORTAN, and BASIC.

If you want to learn 21st-century programming idioms I recommend Python, but 
unless you've already encountered object-oriented programming you'll want to 
start with a "how-to-program" book rather than the language reference. Object 
orientation requires a different approach to breaking the problem into solvable 
pieces ("decomposition") than modular ("block-oriented") languages like Pascal, 
HP-SPL, and C. 

That said, if you want to write reports that are internal to GnuCash you've got 
to learn Scheme. If you're willing to use a SQL backend you can query the 
database and use any language you like and can find a compiler for on the 
results.

I tried in standard-reports and it threw errors.  Moved back up to
report and it works.  I'm sure there is something about the code that I
didn't change correctly for the new location.

I changed the define-module and the debug lines to match the balsheet-eg
name.  That got it to work.

I tried that path and it didn't work.  One of these days I'll figure out
what I did wrong there.  But, if the above will work then I'm willing to
suffer making the changes for each new release.

I would gladly pay $10/mo for reliable quotes as long as I can get a wide 
range of sources. Many funds that I use are not supported by AlphaVantage.

That is correct. However Stephen has put his customized balsheet-fmtd.scm 
report in
/usr/local/share/gnucash/scm/gnucash/report
instead of
/usr/local/share/gnucash/scm/gnucash/report/standard-reports

Files in the former directory are not automatically loaded, a historical 
artifact we should one day fix. 

>  HOWEVER the e-guile reports MIGHT be different.

What is different about the e-guile reports is that they are business reports. 
And contrary to the standard reports they are only loaded if explicitly 
mentioned in
/usr/local/share/gnucash/scm/gnucash/report/business-reports.scm
(in a use-modules construct).

> 
> Also, ensure the file name and path matches the module name.
> 
This is the problem IMO. The attached balsheet-fmtd.scm (renamed to balsheet-
eg.scm) defines this module:
(define-module (gnucash report balsheet-fmtd))
As this file replaces balsheet-eg.scm there no longer is a module defined by
(define-module (gnucash report balsheet-eg))

And hence gnucash complains it can't find that one.

To solve this, restore the original balsheet-eg.scm and instead add a line in 
business-reports.scm like this:

(use-modules (gnucash report balsheet-fmtd))

Better still: don't mess with the installation directory at all and instead 
follow
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports#Loading_Your_Report
to load your custom report.

Geert

Ach!  OK.  So what language should I learn this winter?  Anything that
looks like:  COBOL, BASIC, Fortran, PL/SQL, Pascal (just a smidgen),
Transact, SPL (HP-3000)?  I have been thinking that putting C under my

[GNC] AlphaVantage deal

2018-08-23 Thread Ethan Swint
I recently inquired with AlphaVantage about providing something between
their free 1 quote/20 seconds and their $20/month offering of 1 request / 4
seconds with premium support.

I think most users here are on the once-a-day sync between GnuCash and the
markets, so I proposed a tier that would provide 128 queries/day at 2
queries/second before dropping back down to the free level of 1 quote / 20
seconds for a monthly fee of USD$5/month. AlphaVantage expressed
willingness to provide something along those lines - what do you folks
think? Would this be something worth $5/mo, $10/mo, or are most users happy
at the free levels?

Ethan

Thanks Derek.  I've reverted back to usurping the balsheet eguile
names.  My version is running that way and since my purpose was to clean
up some things I didn't like about the eguile version, I don't need to
keep it around. 

One of these days I should take time to learn the language instead of
hacking at it.  If anyone has insights on how to get an eguile report
loaded in standard-reports (and I don't see any others there so it may
not be possible), I'd like to have that input.

Maybe I can learn the language over winter!

Re: [GNC] Cannot change preferences -- see bug 555187?

2018-08-23 Thread Adrien Monteleone
This page is almost 3 years old: 
https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/GSettingsMigration

But it does offer a list of potential apps to check that might still be using 
gconf. I’m pretty sure Chromium has completed their migration as of early this 
year.

Ubuntu stopped installing it as of 17.04. So if your system doesn’t have 
anything on it that isn’t on 17.04, it is probably safe to delete. And if you 
do have extra software as most people do, then the list to check is smaller.

Adrien

Re: [GNC] How Jobs Work ( was Re: Business Account Set Up Question & Customer Billing Question)

2018-08-23 Thread Adrien Monteleone
Aha!

‘Purchase Order’ is easier to grok for this.

Would that be a terribly difficult fix? Would a bug report be welcome or are 
there messy implications by changing it? At least one I can think of would be 
users wanting to create a single ‘PO’ document (with line items) independent of 
bills/invoices. I think I’ve seen that question already on the list.

And thank you for the clarifications!

I don't know. I know gnucash is no longer using gconf, but perhaps other 
applications on your system still are (though unlikely).

The fact the most recent date in that directory is from 2014 means no 
application you have run since that time has made changes in gconf, but some 
may still read the current state.

Having said all that, it's unlikely there are still currently maintained 
applications using GConf though. And if you remove the directory, worst case 
is for those applications the default preferences are reset. You  won't loose 
your data because of this.

If in doubt, archive a copy of the directory somewhere before removing. If you 
find one of your applications starts behaving oddly (in the sense it's no 
longer configured as you expected) you may check if it's still using gconf.

Regards,

Geert

As far as gnucash is concerned then yes, but you may have other apps
that are still using it I suppose.

Last evening I was thinking of filing a bug report for my problem.  In

comment on it by André Klapper was filed on 2018-08-17 13:58:19 UTC --

That bug is about GConf, which was used for preferences before we switched to
dconf. GConf and dconf are completely different tools and your problem is with
dconf so this bug is irrelevant here.

The only thing André added yesterday was a message indicating that the (old)
GConf tool should be considered dead and burried. Which is fine because
gnucash has not been using it since version 2.6.0.


Does the foregoing mean that directory ~/.gconf can be safely deleted? 
The most recent dates of the files in its subdirecties date from 2014 or 
earlier.

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 3 in the Debian / Ubuntu pipeline?

2018-08-23 Thread Adrien Monteleone
Originally I had typed ’simple’ in quotes and thought better of it. Certainly 
no, it won’t be simple or easy. But I do hope by then, either myself or someone 
else with nothing better to do will write a Cocoa native version. (or whatever 
Mac is using at the time) I have to say though, the present Gtk+3 version is 
much better than the old Gtk+2 iteration. (even with the quirks and bugs)

Capitalization matters -- sometimes.  What do you get from:

  gnc-fq-dump -v alphavantage IPAS

I ask because "IPAS" is what you have listed above.   Also, Alphavantage
is overloaded so sometimes can bog down and fail to respond.

No, you go it right.   Think of a job as a "vendor contract", a way to
link multiple vendor bills together for some purpose.  I suppose I
should have named it "Purchase Order".

See above.  A "job" is really a misnomer.  The idea was more like a
"Purchase Order" (PO).  A PO is a way to link multiple invoices
together, but a PO is only valid to a single customer or single vendor.

Internally that is correct.  Because a Job (PO) has only a single
customer (or vendor), you can use a Job instead -- so the "Owner" of an
invoice can be a Job (which implies a customer).

Basically, the issue being reported is that it is trying to find "gnucash
report balsheet-eg" but it can't.  WHY it thinks there is "no code for
module" is a different question.  One possibility is caching -- you
should definitely clear your guile cache.  You can also "touch" the .scm
files to make them look newer so they get recompiled.

I was under the impression that all the files in standard-reports get
auto-loaded.  So just pulling a new report in there should be
sufficient.  HOWEVER the e-guile reports MIGHT be different.

Also, ensure the file name and path matches the module name.

Googling  for that error message finds lots of hits.  It seems to be
do do with having a drive that windows thinks is there but actually
