A recent subscriber to the platform. Great features available at a great price.
One major item I’m having an issue with is manually importing my trades to track my portfolio performance. I largely trades US stocks only with the occasional ASX purchase. My CFD broker (IG markets) converts the currency USD/AUD (e.g. 1.324356) and the Navexa Exchange Rate only converts AUD/USD (e.g. 0.710304). It does not have the option for USD/AUD conversion.
So when it comes to inputting my trades, I’m not getting an accurate representation of the true currency gain, as I have to rely the AUD/USD conversion provided by Navexa on the particular date of purchase or sale. This is fine for tracking performance, but not from a tax reporting perspective.
Can anyone please point me in the direction of resolving this function or have any suggestions?!
I know this is currently an active function available in Sharesight and it’s very useful especially for international investors. As you can imagine, if i’m importing a trade manually from a trade 1 month ago, I’m not really going to have the ability to do an accurate conversion from AUDUSD to USDAUD as one month has already passed. All I can do for the time being is rely on the AUDUSD exchange rate available on that particular day provided in the Navexa platform. This gives me a rough idea of my currency gains/loss but not to a tee.
