Chris, This will be short as I am on a cell phone right now.
I would like to see a summary paragraph that clarifies that a typical example of an account structure would include an asset account to represent an account at a brokerage firm. That would be denominated in your local currency and it would include sub accounts for each security that you trade there. Purchases, sales, income and expenses should all be in the same currency for that brokerage. The security sub accounts would each be configured to contain units of a single security selected from the master security list and they are expected to use the same currency as the brokerage account. Security prices are kept in a separate table that relates individual securities (not security accounts ) to a single currency in that part of the table. If the user has multiple currencies, all that stuff should be duplicated in each currency. This should be reviewed for accuracy and grammatical consistency by a developer before being committed to the documentation, and it should probably fall near the beginning of section 8 of the tutorial.
