Hi, My goal is to convert Interactive Brokers statements (their XML flex statements) to Beancount.
Normally I wouldn't have to think about lots and prices, because each <Trade ... /> already tells me cash in/out (and realized FIFO pnl). So I already know exactly the amount that leaves/enters the cash account and exactly the quantity that enters/leaves the financial instrument account. >From what I currently understand, it's only because of Beancount peculiarity that I need to go through the trouble of matching the individual lots. Normally, there would not be much point in doing that (at most, I'd only want "price" commands at the end of the year to get my **unrealized** PnL). Is my understanding correct? Or can lots somehow already been auto-matched according to e.g. FIFO? Thanks, Dan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
