BTW, related to trading inputs, here's an odd idea I had: to support a table/CSV-like syntax in Beancount itself. A set of accounts would have to be configured for a block, and the columns would dictate which accounts the numbers in columns are booked for. This would provide a pretty compact yet

Re: Dealing with futures

Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy. Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have called it "margin," it's inaccurate. In particular, this method doesn't actually track the margin usage (which seems unnecessary). Maybe it should be some Equity account. There's some other discussion about futures contracts

Re: Announce: new Beancount parser in Rust

Have you guys seen this suite of tests? https://github.com/beancount/beancount/blob/master/beancount/cparser/parser_test.cc Any parser that supports a suite like this I'd probably want to integrate and contemplate a Rust version of Beancount. There are two crucial things at the bottom of it all:

Re: Question about how to work with beancount for ETFs

Check out the section on trading in the docs. You can choose a booking method, e.g. FIFO, or do it manually (if you use the "specific lot identification" method). One trick that works well when doing by is to run bean-doctor to get the context around a transaction, it gives you the contents of the

The c++ parser in V3 is pretty much done. This is other people writing a parser in rust. It's worth noting that n beancount the parser alone isn't that useful. It's because beancount processes its data in two stages: parsing, which produces roughly a data structure that matches the input, and

Re: Getting commodity tracking working for individual securities

The problem is not your currencies, it's the account names. Account names do not support underscores. Use dashes instead. (They probably should (mabe), but I'm not going to change the syntax in stable/v2). I'm not sure what the invalid currency error is, needs more detail On Sat, Oct 28, 2023 at

Re: partial support for commission syntax?

This works and is not about commissions per se, what it is is a combined {per unit # per posting} syntax for cost. If you have 3 units, {100 # 3} is a per unit cost of 101 per share unit. Have you tried playing with bean-doctor? On Sat, Aug 19, 2023, 05:34 Eric Altendorf wrote: > I was
