This is feature is only available on development version of Tackler |
Use case
Current Market Value, or Mark-to-Market (MTM) is used to display commodity and share values with the latest available market price in PriceDB. Typically this is used to display assets as "Market Value Today", with the most up-to-date market price information.
Price Data application policy
last-price-
-
Used Price is based on rates (prices) noted in the pricedb. Possible costs recorded in the transactions are ignored.
-
Latest price (rate) in the price db is used for the conversion
-
Configuration
Current Market Value mode is selected either by price.lookup-type = "last-price" in tackler.toml or by CLI --price.lookup-type=last-price option.
[price] db-path = "journal/txns/price.db" lookup-type = "last-price" ... [Report] commodity = "EUR"
See tackler --help for all price related CLI options.
Example
This is journal records from the 2024 spring - some lovely ice cream and one Golden Maple Leaf coin
2024-03-01 'Ice cream and maple syrup Expenses:Sweets 2.8 CAD Assets:Cash 2024-03-01 'The Royal Canadian Mint’s Gold Maple Leaf (GML) Assets:Coins 1 GML @ 2780 CAD ; Gold Maple Leaf Expenses:Fees 20 CAD Assets:Cash -2800 CAD
We would like to know what is the current market value of GML at the moment. To do that, we run report with price lookup with the last available price in pricedb:
tackler \
--config examples/maple.toml \
--reports balance \
--accounts "Assets:Coins" \
--price.lookup-type last-price \
--report.commodity CAD
This will produce the following balance report:
