Another issue that I just realized and is related to the functionality
of trading accounts, but maybe not the one that we are discussing
here,
is the security/currency of the top level placeholder account Trading.
Shouldn't that be set in my base currency EUR? Strangely enough in my
case it's set in VOW which is a security I trade.
I'm not sure where that came from, but I don't think it matters. I
can't think of anything that GnuCash would use that commodity for.
Another thing that we've sort of passed over without comment is that
trading accounts don't have much to do with *realized* gains. You still
need to record them as you presumably have been by using splits to a
"realized gain" income account with zero shares and non-zero value.
Trading accounts are more about making the books balance with
*unrealized* gains.
