I'm really not sure I agree with the concept of trading accounts.
I think it just confuses the issue even more. How about "hidden"
equivalences? Instead of balancing it in a Split, per se, we balance
it in a KVP? That way:
1) it's not visible
2) you always know which pseudo-split is the auto-balance split
3) you dont add additional accounts
4) did I say "it's not visible" yet?
5) it doesn't add additional splits to the transaction that could just
confuse the user.
I really think "trading accounts" is the WRONG approach for this problem.
