Mark,

It works like you described, the transactions are always to and from the USD cash investment from the portfolio. I also defined other investments for other currencies.
The problem is, if I made a 5000 USD cash deposit it goes to the USD as 5000, if I made a 5000 CHF cash deposit, it also goes as 5000 USD in the default cash, defined for the portfolio.
Did I miss something? I have to say that it is not perfectly clear how I should structure my portfolios and sub portfolios and different cash investments so that everything works smoothly.

For example, in Swissquote, I have a main portfolio and three sub portfolios, each has a different account number and an own default cash investment, for CHF, USD, EUR. This is the way it works at SQ, each currency is a different account number. Anyway, I retrieve the transactions manually from an excel table, so I do more or less what I want.

For IB, it’s different, I have only one account number, when I import, everything goes into the same pot. I did not define sub portfolios yet for IB. I have to find out how to handle the cash first, with the different currencies.

Thanks for your time.
