Hi, there is currently an error in the site and app which means I have been completely unable to sell, as the ‘result’ column is incorrect. As a result, the ‘live result’ , portfolio, and account values are also wrong. This seems to be a currency conversion issue and is not affecting my British sto…

I think it is same as here aka sharp change in USD/GBP rate [image] Issue with return price on Tesla 📊 Investing @Rukhsana The GBP/USD exchange rate at the time of purchase was 1.217120001, now it’s > 1.233, that’s the reason.

You said it yourself, it is a matter of currency exchange rate.

it can’t be because of a penny change in the rate, this doesn’t explain the £5-10 discrepancy on stocks that are around £200

Well it is easy to find out, what was exchange rate on the market order, for purchase of Costco? Compare it to today exchange rate, I can see GBP gained vs USD compared to last week.

@br2611 Total Cost = 2.5 x $302.66 = $756.65 / 1.21688 (GBP/USD 1.21688) = £621.79 Total Return = 2.5 x $303.79 = $759.475 / 1.23435 = £615.28 - £621.79 = -£6.5

Yeah man, you’re right, sorry for wasting everyone’s time…rookie error

thanks a lot yeah, that makes sense

don’t worry. FX rates are something that catches out the vast majority of people who are new to the market.

This exchange rates makes things so confusing…I found multiple topics of people saying that the history tab shows wrong values Is the multicurrency that was proposed the best way to make this more simple ?

The simplest way currently is to open account with currency you plan to invest 90% of funds. :slight_smile:
