   @simonmichael Thanks for the hints! How to make this balance command to display it only in RUB? I guess if I put P directive with desired currency last it should be used. Now it outputs:

   hledger -f test.ledger bal -V
                 USD 10  Cash
              RUB -1000  OpenBalance
                 ABC 10  Stocks
   --------------------
                 ABC 10
              RUB -1000
                 USD 10
   

   test.ledger:

   2017/12/11 
     OpenBalance    
     Cash    RUB 1000
   
   2017/12/11
     Cash    RUB -1000
     Cash    USD 100
   
   2017/12/12 
     Cash      USD -90
     Stocks    ABC 10
   
   P 2017/12/20 USD RUB 15
   ; 9 * 15:
   P 2017/12/20 ABC RUB 135
   
   

   And here is a draft for Q&A item. Probably useful.

   How to show balance report in one or more desired currencies?
   You can show it either in a market price (-V/--market) or in a transaction price (-B/--cost). To show your balance report in some other currency you should have prices from your transaction currency to the desired currency. And these prices should come last. For a transaction price, make your desired currency to be last. For a market price, put your desired currency price last in your price list.

   @artkpv I see now you are running into #683 - by default -V uses market prices as of the last transaction's date. You can see it working when a later date is specified:

   $ hledger -f examples/648.journal bal -V -e 2017/12/31
                RUB 150  Cash
              RUB -1000  OpenBalance
               RUB 1350  Stocks
   --------------------
                RUB 500
   

   I think we'll have this fixed shortly.

   uses today's prices, not those of last txn date, for -V (fix #683,#648)
