Now I understand your question . True, there is no place to enter shares or price in the SX. Thus it is assumed that whatever total amount is calculated by the currency part of a transaction buys or sells as many shares as calculated by the price that the user manually enters when the Since. Last Run assistant creates the transaction. I am not sure if variables can be added, but since it is possible to build scheduled loan transactions , that may also be possible in stock transactions. I have never tried it. Historically, variables in scheduled transactions were so poorly documented it was hard to imagine how to structure them. I think the improved documentation may help with that, but I am way behind with that part of Gnucash.
