I'm glad that helps. Of course the default, Average, should work as well, and it does in as much as the calculations are correct, but due to a lack of rounding, and the method that gnucash stores fractions, we get an overflow situation.

I'm glad it's working for you. The additional information, income and realized gain, are longer term projects and I can't make any reasonable guess when, or even if, they will be done. But I'll put them on the list ;) A
