Securities
Securities are units of value that can be aggregated and tracked in investment accounts. Examples of securities include stocks, mutual funds and bonds. The value of most securities relative to some currency can change over time. In Moneydance, all securities are recorded relative to your base currency but can be displayed relative to any other currency, especially the currency assigned to investment accounts.
All of the securities in your data file are accessible via the Tools->Edit Securities menu or by clicking on the Stock Prices link on the home page. After selecting this menu or link a window appears with the list of securities contained in the current file. You may add, remove or modify individual securities using this window. Editing a security allows you to view and modify the price and split history, current price, currency in which the price is displayed, ticker symbol, suffix, prefix and security name. When creating a new security from this window you have the option to set the maximum number of decimal places that will be used for storing and displaying quantities of this security.
