Here is how I enter transactions for foreign stocks....
1) enter the quantity of stock traded
2) then use the currency converter to convert the commission to my default
currency.
3) then do the same for the total paid.
4) then click in the price box and the price will be automatically
calculated in your local currency.
If you already have figures in your local currency (eg for commission) I
just enter these without using the converter.
This seems to give the right info in reports - at least I haven't noticed
any errors!
