Description Ralf Habacker 2017-06-19 23:01:15 UTC
http://funds.ft.com/uk/Tearsheet/Summary?s=LU0063916489

How to reproduce:
1. start kmymoney
2. goto to settings->online web quotes and apply the changes from bug 381399 comment 5 to the "Financial Times UK Funds" entry.
3. Add a new investment account 
4. Create a new investment by selecting the account created with 3. and use EUR currency.
5. open context menu and select "new investition" 
6. add 'LU0063916489' as stock symbol, name it 'test' and use EUR currency
7. press okay, select "Financial Times UK Funds" and press okay
8. select online price update in just created investment from the context menu

What happens ?
KMymoney fetches the related price and thinks the price has been returned in EUR instead of converting the currenty from USD to EUR.

What is expected ?
KMymoney should detect the curreny returned from the online web price quote and  convert the price into the investment account curreny.

Additional informations:
The "Financial Times UK Funds" return the currency on the result page in the form 

<span class="mod-ui-data-list__label">Price (USD)</span>

which makes it possible to parse the currency with an additional "currency" regex added to the "online web quote" configuration.

I think you need to have the Base Currency for the account set to EUR, and the Trading Currency for the stock set to USD

Thanks that helped. 

To avoid that more people are stumpling into the issue like me it would be good to have a related hint somewhere in the "create stock account" dialog.

It would be even better if online price quote fetches the currency too and prints a warning if the stock currency is not the same.
