Factor not applied in historical data

Good afternoon

I’m a new user of Portfolio Performance and I’m really enjoying it, so first of all thanks to each contributor of this awesome project.

I’m writing here because I can’t find out how to correctly track a golden coin in PP. Following the instruction in the manual I got the gold spot price in EUR/oz from LBMA by setting

Then i set a scalding factor to represent the gold weight in the coin

  • Factor (for quotes): 0.23542

In the table below the settings I find the correct hystorical price in €/coin.

However if I see the chart it seems that only the last quote has been scaled with the factor.

And also the performance data are affected by this.

What I did wrong?

Thank you for your support.

hi there,

first of all, thank you very much for the great and complete error report (with all data and screenshots). That made it very easy for me to test it myself.

I cannot reproduce the error. It works for me.

But I think I know what you did. Did you perhaps load the prices first and then edit them and add the factor? Because in that case, the factor is only used for the newly retrieved prices (historical prices are not updated). Just delete the historical prices and download them again. Then it will work perfectly!
