I use the ISIN of the stocks as the commodity symbol, and use the stock exchange scrip symbol as well in the account, and follow this pattern: Equity:Trading:Shares:JUNIORBEES:INR-INF732E01045:INF732E01045 Equity:Trading:Shares:JUNIORBEES:INR-INF732E01045:INR ... and the asset follows the pattern: Assets:Investment:Equity:Shares:JUNIORBEES (Do note that the "Equity" in the account name here refers to the type of investment, rather than the (Assets – Liabilities). I use this to know how much of my investments are in equity, how much in debt, how much in cash & cash equivalents, how much in property, and how much in tangibles.) To know the cost (the invested amount), one can use the query: `ledger bal Equity:Trading:Shares:JUNIORBEES:INR-INF732E01045:INR` or for all your shares: `ledger bal '^Equity:Trading:Shares:.*:INR$'` I hope that helps.
