Re: [GNC] Problem With Price Editor

[Les]

I have set up a large number of stocks, so it is not my first by any 
means.  As a matter of fact, I setup another stock prior to this one 
without any issues.  Same procedure.  I have several brokage accounts 
and stocks in several countries, including Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, 
Australia, previously other countries. Each country has its own 
currency, so the stock in question is in Canada, so I assigned CAD for 
its currency.

I am puzzled by the sequence that you described.
You stated that you went through the process of setting up a security 
account  but then you assigned a currency to that account which should 
be impossible because it is a security account.


Then you stopped before you got to the part where you would go back to 
the price editor and look under the namespace where you assigned the 
security to see (or not) the security symbol that was in the 
securities list.  Have you previously set up other securities?

Re: [GNC] Problem With Price Editor

[Les]

Ok, sorry.  I am running Linux Mint 18.2 with GC 2.6.21.  I am still 
having problems with AlphaVantage but manage to get downloads a couple 
of time per week.


For the record, I have been using GC since 2008.

I setup the new stock by click new account, entered the name of the 
stock and selected stock from the list and selected CAD for currency.  
This took me to the Security Editor where I reentered the stock name and 
its ticker symbol.  I checked get stock quotes and selected AlphaVantage 
for the source.


I then went back to the stock in my investments folder and entered the 
date acquired, the number of shares and the price, then the amount of 
the charge for the purchase, and then selected the brokerage account. 
Clicked save.

Les,

It is important that you clearly define your problem when you ask for 
help in this maillist.


I see that you have been trying things out with GnuCash for some time 
now, but when I sampled your comments I did not find a consistent 
pattern of mentioning the OS, or GnuCash version when asking about a 
problem.  I think that you are using release 2.6.21 installed by a 
procedure called Snap, which I know nothing about, into some version 
of Linux.  If you are now trying to use release 3.2, there is a 
completely different set of possible issues.


Further, I am confused about whether you completed the entire process 
of creating a security in the security list (which is not an account, 
by the way) with a proper ticker reference and security type as well 
as creating a security account associated with a brokerage account and 
entering an initial buy or sell transaction.  While the part of 
creating a security account and recording a purchase or sale is 
optional, it (a)helps to have a way to see the security in your data 
and (b)creates an initial price entry in the price database.


I also saw that you were having issues with setting up AlphaVantage 
earlier. Did you resolve those, or is that a part of the problem you 
are now having with the price editor?


Several of us are willing to help, but we need more specific details.
