Jon, It is not very clear what situation you are dealing with. One would not usually move stock from one account to another as such. Their purchase or sale would normally be recorded in an Asset:Invetment account of type Stock. What you are recording is the exchange of money to or from your bank account (another asset account) when you sell or buy the stock. If you are buying and selling on overseas exchanges then you will have currency exchange considerations as well.
The following section of the Tutorial and Concepts guide will be a good starting point https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/invest-setup1.html The sections in the guide following the one referenced above deal with buying and selling stock. You may also want to check out the introductory sections relating to double entry accounting https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/basics-accounting1.html if the above is not clear.
