Hello, I'm working on tracking my cryptocurrencies trades with ledger-cli as described in the "Multiple currencies with currency trading accounts <https://github.com/ledger/ledger/wiki/Multiple-currencies-with-currency-trading-accounts>" wiki page.
My first idea is not to have a default Fiat, I prefer not having a local currency point of view. I want to be able to track trades for all pairs like BTC to USDT, then BTC to ETH, the ETH to USD, and be able to do "swaps" in all available possible combinations. So I started with only one trading account, expressed in many currencies: Equity:Trading:USD Equity:Trading:ETH Equity:Trading:BTC Equity:Trading:JPY .... Then I made a trading account per currency, with multiple currencies in each: Equity:Trading:ETH:USD Equity:Trading:ETH:JPY Equity:Trading:ETH:BTC Equity:Trading:BTC:USD Equity:Trading:BTC:JPY because I want to be able to calculate Gain/loss for each currencies. And then, discovered another chart naming model in the recent update in the wiki page: Equity:Trading:ETH-BTC:USD Equity:Trading:ETH-BTC:JPY Equity:Trading:ETH-BTC:BTC Equity:Trading:ETH-BTC:ETH Do someone, or the author itself can explain the reason why accounts names were converted from AUD:EUR to AUD-EUR:EUR and AUD-EUR:AUD? Why this revision was made? for what usage? I'm not able to calculate Cost of a trade. But it seems feasible as described in point 5.3 https://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/accounting/tutorial.html#4 -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
