If I select the transaction and I go to “security transfer”, it is moved but the date of today is used as starting day for the asset. I want to preserve all the initial info. I just want to “move” it to “ETFs” and remove it from “Stocks”.
rather than transferring securities to virtual accounts why not making use of Taxomonies? You create a taxomony, e.g. named “Type of security”, underneath that you create levels such as “ETF” and “Stocks”. You then announce these levels to the securities.
This way you have more flexibilities in bundling or comparing securities for diagrams or reports.
Question1: Degiro reports a 2k current unrealized loss so the numbers seem ok even though it is weird that the software puts a minus sign in the Deposit Account. How can I flip the sign?
Next, I did what you suggested and I have this now:
Well, the minus sign means that you have a negative amount in your account, a loan. If that doesn’t align with reality, then the transactions are wrong or incomplete.
This diagram can only be filtered by accounts. You could look at the pie chart of the taxonomy and zoom into the relevant class.
You can see that the final column has a negative amount indicating that this was a buy order.
A sell order has a positive sign since you get credited money.
if you want the deposit account to be zero, i.e. a buy or a sell of securities should not show up in the account balance you can use Delivery (Inbout)/(Outbound) rather than buy/sell. Deliveries do not run through your account.
This way you do not need to generate a deposit at the beginning (unclean way of working). I recall that at import level you can chose to convert buys/sells to deliveries. On the other hand there is nothing bad in having a negative account.
One last question. For now, in order to choose Yahoo finance as source for the quotes, I have to right-click on each asset (one by one) and then choose YF as source.
check the charts for the historical data of the early purchases (Apple, Meta, Pinterest). There may be a spike in one of those (wrong value from data source). This you can manually correct once located.
In any case that is the reason for the upwards spike: You bought shares for 302.84 which then, at the end of the day, had a value of 431.42, i.e. +42%.
One Option is to create two securities for that, but then the automatic import would not work anymore and that does not make sense at all, because it is the same security! The company/security is the same and thats indipendend from where you buy it!
