I fear that Bruce McCoy pushed this thread astray by introducing the
phrase "books… out of balance". This moved the topic from GnuCash
handling of securities transactions to GnuCash handling of the Trial
Balance.

GnuCash's rounding isn't likely to put books out of balance because GnuCash
forces transactions to be balance in the transaction currency. Book out of
balance, meaning that the trial balance report doesn't balance with the Average
Cost price source, nearly always results from not computing capital
gains/losses correctly.
That led to discussion of cost of goods sold, and GnuCash not having
support for cost accounting, and so on.
The digression does not strike me as helping Bruce understand what many
on this list are trying to explain to him.
