I second that suggestion! :D

Looks like the beginnings of a potentially great hack! *clicks installed*

EDIT: as i haven't actually installed yet, can i ask whether this mod allows daytrading via the yahoo feeds? Since they are 15 minutes delayed, it isn't too hard to know the future of the stockmarket as it were. If using yahoo, having it use end of day quotes only would avoid this problem (or paying for a more upto date feed for daytrading).

I never thought of that. I will implement an option allowing you to use the most recent update from Yahoo or the previous day's end of day quote.

One thing I also found out, if you have some stocks, then purchase some more of the same, it will not display the unique name of the share with the combined totals. Rather it will treat each entry of the same as a different entry and gives an impression of duplicates, triplicates etc... If it can't be combined then perhaps a transaction date would be handy in there.

I get a javascript error with the ajax on IE

What if I don't want to use "real" stocks, and want to make up generic stock symbols that are specific to my site?

The only stock purchases that get combined are those that have the same "purchase price". If you buy 100 shares of MSFT at $10, and then another 100 shares at $15, each group of shares will show up as two listings in the stock table.

I only tested this under Firefox. I will look at this later.

Sounds like you want an entirely different plugin then.

That is not the case. I made those transactions at market close which means they have the same purchase price. They are however behaving as separate transactions instead of having been combined.

here is a screenshot of the double MSFT with same purchase price.
Anyway, I still think a transaction date is important, for later sophisticated reporting.

Hmm.. this looks like a bug. Did you buy both sets of stocks after the market had closed?

Yes I did
