I've been using gnucash since 2014, recording my personal finances and investments. I am in Europe so my main currency is EUR. Up until now my investments were in EUR currency as well as some crypto, which are again expressed in EUR currency.
Lately I started building an investment portfolio in USD, so I started exploring the trading accounts functionality. I have read both articles from P. Selinger and browsed through the documentation and mailing lists, for related subjects. The problem I am facing is the following, after activating trading accounts the system created the hierarchy for all the trading accounts, but also created a bunch of splits in already recorded transactions. So from the beginning the trading:currency:EUR account has a balance of almost 2.300 eur and includes all my transactions related to my crypto portfolio. Is this normal for the trading system to create splits in already recorded transactions? And what does it mean for the trading:currency:EUR to have a positive balance of 2.300 eur, is this exchange realized gain? _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
