Gnucash - Unrealised gains in net worth linechart (self.personalfinance)

Edit: Silly me. Set the price options properly and it already does!

Hello, Does anyone here using Gnucash know how I can take unrealised gains in to account on the net worth linechart?

I know I can manually add an account for unrealised gains and track that way but for assets like stocks that fluctuate over time, id rather not manually enter a price every time.. especially given Gnucash has the data from the price database.

There are other reports like the advance portfolio which calculate this so is there a way to show this data in the net worth chart?

My net worth reports already include unrealized gains by default. Perhaps you're not tracking your stocks/securities properly, are you using the Stock account with correct tickers and pulling prices with finance quote?

Yep this was my mistake. I had to set the price options properly and now it tracks unrealised gains

Last up though report date or nearest to report date make the most sense

Thanks!
