If I change which Namespace a security is in, should that affect a Trading

to fix things by adding trading account splits where needed
you could use the "Check and Repair" commands in the Actions menu. If
Trading Accounts are turned on these commands should add the splits
where required. I would certainly make a backup copy before trying

Trading accounts are not the same as lots. Different concept, different code.

were worth and argued that they should be an opt-in choice. One of the

My question was more why the trading accounts (which seem to me the cleaner

Does a trading account, i.e. an account of type "Trading" that was auto
created by the system, acts like an income account or like an expense
account?
On one hand the concept behind this account type classifies it as an income

So I started a new file. Then I imported csvs containing transactions which

expense accounts are in 1 currency, there are some accounts that have other
currencies.
After importation, I find that gnucash created a trading

amounts for all stock transactions in USD. I did not see a way to set up
trading accounts for the currency side of each stock separately, but there
may well be a way.

The trading account created by gnucash for a stock shows as a balance the
number of shares in the account. This is also the balance shown in the
asset account for that stock.
Transactions for all stocks post to the USD
