Hi Les
Really interesting question, with a simple and a complicated answer.
Simple answer: I think Trial Balance would differ if you deal with
multiple currencies or stock (i.e. multiple conversions with differing
dates and prices).
Complicated answer:

I have a "test" laptop with GC 2.6.17 running the latest Linux Mint.
I opened GC and tried using Trading Accounts, did check and repair,
noted the totals of assets, liabilities, income and expense before and
after. There was no difference. I then ran a Income and Expense
report for year 2016 (which is the same as my production GC and
compared the two. Again there was no difference in totals between the
two GC files.
So, exactly what does Trading Accounts actually do? I noticed that
when viewing a stock transaction using auto-split view, there are
added lines showing trading: currencies and trading: exchange and
stock symbol, that does not appear without trading accounts.
Thanks,
Les

It would be more fun to make a test copy of an existing file! 😁

Thanks, Adrien, David & Christoph for your replies. I think
opening a new GC file and testing Trading Accounts is a good idea.

And run “Actions -> Check & Repair -> Check & Repair All” to
add the needed splits to existing transactions.

I think that if you want to stop using trading account s
it is difficult to
turn them off.
I would set up a test file to try them on until you decide
whether you like
them.

Yes, you can add trading accounts (or any other
accounts) as needed to your
current file.

I have been using GC for several years, and
although I trade stocks, I
have never used the "Trading Accounts" option.
Can I just start using
it,
or would I need to start a new GC file?
Thanks,
Les
