GnuCash doesn't send the LSE: part to Finance::Quote, it just uses it for the error dialog. Why did you set the symbol to L.BTEM instead of BTEM.L?

Re: GnuCash security symbol incompatible with financeQuote
I agree, FinanceQuote reacts perfectly well when presented with the correct symbol. The problem I still can't overcome is how to get GnuCash to present FinanceQuote with the correct symbol for this security. I tried to create a new security with symbol "BTEM.L" but GnuCash will not let me continue until I give a "Type". Say I choose "LSE", for example. I am not allowed to leave it empty. Now, when I go to the price editor and click "Get Quotes", I see: "Unable to retrieve quotes for these items: LSE:L.BTEM". This is what I was referring to. How can I remove the "LSE:" part? Or how can I override this default behaviour by which GnuCash enforces the FQ request to be formatted like "X:Y" ? -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

GnuCash security symbol incompatible with financeQuote
Dear all, I want to track the stock with symbol "BTEM.L". This is recognised by finance::quote : ./gnc-fq-dump yahoo_europe BTEM.L Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses: symbol: BTEM.L <=== required ... etc More standard would be the symbol "LON:BTEM", but not recognised by finance::quote. GnuCash seems to only allow me to create securities with symbols X:Y where X is "type" and Y is "symbol", and the ":" is non-optional. How can GnuCash track "BTEM.L" ? Thanks! -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
