Request for Improved Input Options for Manual Commodity Transactions
Quincy Ommel
Dear Backoffice/Support Team,
I would like to report a usability issue I’m encountering when manually entering commodity transactions into the app, specifically with gold purchases.
When adding a transaction, the app requests a date and time to fetch the standard price per unit (in this case, USD per troy ounce). However, I purchase gold from a European dealer, meaning the transaction is made in EUR and measured in kilograms. This leads to several complications:
1. I first need to convert the weight from kilograms to troy ounces.
2. The app then uses a USD/OZ price which I must manually adjust until the total transaction value in EUR matches what I actually paid.
3. This results in minor discrepancies and makes the process unnecessarily time-consuming and error-prone.
Feature request:
It would be highly beneficial to have an option to:
• Enter the weight in grams or troy ounces, and
• Specify the price per unit directly in EUR (instead of relying on automatic USD pricing conversion).
This would greatly streamline the process for users who purchase commodities in non-USD currencies and non-OZ units.
Thank you for considering this suggestion to improve usability for international investors.
