Hi,

Are there some general guidelines how to choose accuracy for fractional

his/her broker account and gnucash?

Thank you for your help,

There is no way to do this (guarantee agreement). Whenever rounding is involved, it matters not just the particular rounding rule used but WHEN rounding is applied, because rounded(A) + rounded(B) does not necessarily = rounded (A+B).

One of the things I used to do (in my working days) was calculate the necessary "fuzz" for compare operations necessary not to have these small "errors" (different rounding process) cause mismatches.

PS: You can manually adjust by including a child account for "rounding errors" which you might name that or "fuzz".
