It very much surprises me to hear that you download a Quantity
expressed to 4...7 decimal places.

Whenever you enter a Buy or Sell by hand, let Money compute the
Price (per share). So you might enter the Quantity, Commission, and
Total in that order.

The per-share price is not important. Quantity and Total are what
are important to get right.

Don't do that.

The statements are rounding off for people who can't cope with long
numbers, and statements (from all sources) are notorious for only
getting the numbers close.

Money is just being more accurate. Leave the numbers as they are
downloaded.

Default Issues with quanity and shares when downloading from Brokerage acc

Hi, I have multiple Etrade brokerage accounts and when transactions are
downloaded into Money, I have an issue with the consistency with the
information on paper statements. For example, when when itmes are downloaded
into money, the quantity and share price often have 4-7 decimal points and
when I receive my paper statement, it is rounded to 2 decimal points for
share price and upto 3 for quantity.

When I try to revise the change the downloaded transaction to have 2 decimal
points for price and 3 for quanity, I cannot get it to equal the paper
statement.

Has anyone encouterd this?

Is there a way to limit the # of decimal points in Money so that it is
forced to do 2 for price and 3 for quantity?

Any other suggestestions?
