The commodity may be any\ -non-numeric string that does not contain a period, comma, forward\ -slash or at-sign. It may appear before or after the amount, although\ -it is assumed that symbols appearing before the amount refer to\ -currencies, while non-joined symbols appearing after the amount refer\ -to commodities. Here are some valid currency and commodity\ -specifiers:\ -\ -@example\ -$20.00 ; currency: twenty US dollars\ -40 AAPL ; commodity: 40 shares of Apple stock\ -60 DM ; currency: 60 Deutsch Mark\ -\'a350 ; currency: 50 British pounds\ -50 EUR ; currency: 50 Euros (or use appropriate symbol)\ -@end example\ -\ -Ledger will examine the first use of any commodity to determine how\ -that commodity should be printed on reports. It pays attention to\ -whether the name of commodity was separated from the amount, whether\ -it came before or after, the precision used in specifying the amount,\ -whether thousand marks were used, etc. This is done so that printing\ -the commodity looks the same as the way you use it.\ -\ -An account may contain multiple commodities, in which case it will\ -have separate totals for each. For example, if your brokerage account\ -contains both cash, gold, and several stock quantities, the balance\ -might look like:\ -\ -@smallexample\ - $200.00\ -100.00 AU\ - AAPL 40\ - BORL 100\ - FEQTX 50 Assets:Brokerage\ -@end smallexample\ -\ -This balance report shows how much of each commodity is in your\ -brokerage account.\ -\ -Sometimes, you will want to know the current street value of your\ -balance, and not the commodity totals. For this to happen, you must\ -specify what the current price is for each commodity. The price can\ -be any commodity, in which case the balance will be computed in terms\ -of that commodity. The usual way to specify prices is with a price\ -history file, which might look like this:\ -\ -@smallexample\ -P 2004/06/21 02:18:01 FEQTX $22.49\ -P 2004/06/21 02:18:01 BORL $6.20\ -P 2004/06/21 02:18:02 AAPL $32.91\ -P 2004/06/21 02:18:02 AU $400.00\ -@end smallexample\ -\ -Specify the price history to use with the @option\{--price-db\} option,\ -with the @option\{-V\} option to report in terms of current market\ -value:\ -\ -@example\ -ledger --price-db prices.db -V balance brokerage\ -@end example\ -\ -The balance for your brokerage account will be reported in US dollars,\ -since the prices database uses that currency.\ -\ -@smallexample\ -$40880.00 Assets:Brokerage\ -@end smallexample\ -\ -You can convert from any commodity to any other commodity. Let's say\ -you had $5000 in your checking account, and for whatever reason you\ -wanted to know many ounces of gold that would buy, in terms of the\ -current price of gold:\ -\ -@example\ -ledger -T "@\{1 AU@\}*(O/P@\{1 AU@\})" balance checking\ -@end example\ -\ -Although the total expression appears complex, it is simply saying\ -that the reported total should be in multiples of AU units, where the\ -quantity is the account total divided by the price of one AU. Without\ -the initial multiplication, the reported total would still use the\ -dollars commodity, since multiplying or dividing amounts always keeps\ -the left value's commodity. The result of this command might be:\ -\ -@smallexample\ -14.01 AU Assets:Checking\ -@end smallexample}
