Creating an Investment AccountThe first step on the path to working with investments is to create an Investment account to hold your defined securities. Choose the menu item to begin the process. Create an account as previously described in the Account section, making sure to choose “Investment” as the type of account.
To work with the new investment account, open that account in the Ledgers View, as previously described.
Whenever you enter or edit a buy, sell, or reinvest transaction, you need to specify the number of shares, price per share, and the total amount of the transaction. As described here you actually specify only two of those values, and KMyMoney calculates the third. The default price entry setting for new Investment Accounts is “Price per share”, but this can be changed to “Total amount” when you edit the account.
