GBP pricing and historical pricing

[RABcap]

Hi there. When using stocks in GBP we used to multiple prices by 0.01 to reflect the difference between pounds and pence. However, as of 7th August, when using historical pricing, GBP prices no longer come in in pounds but pence. What is the solution?

Hi RABcap,

As of quote module 585 FM started importing any symbol ending in .L from Yahoo (Historical), (Adjusted Historical), (Alternate), (Options), or (Real-Time) in pounds instead of pence. You can either remove the price multiplier in FM or you can turn off this change with a registry edit:

You can also override this behavior by adding a registry value at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Beiley Software\Fund Manager\CurrentVersion\Internet Retr where you add a string value named yahoo_uk and set it to a value of 1. If you do this, the price will be retrieved in pence, and not divided by 100.
