You probably know this already, but a query similar to this will give you the market value for a single point in time: SELECT root(account, 3), convert(sum(position), "EUR", 2019-12-31) where date <= 2019-12-31 and account ~ "^Assets:Invest"
You might need slightly different queries for your Banks and Pension accounts. Given all of that, the way I would produce the monthly graph is to write a very trivial python script to run this and your other queries and iterate across time. That will give you flexibility as you fine tune your report. As for your “over-time asset group allocation”, beangrow <https://github.com/beancount/beangrow> is what I use for that. Rather than an asset allocation problem, I view it as a rate-of-return problem: how does my top-level rate-of-return (IRR) break down over my accounts and tickers? Is that what you are ultimately wanting, or did I perhaps not fully understand it? On Monday, August 28, 2023 at 4:10:45 AM UTC-7 Denis I wrote: > Hi all, > > a beancount newbie here.
