I am running GnuCash 5.10 on Fedora Linux 41
My Default Currency is USD
I imported from a QIF file some stock transactions.
I sold some Canada stock from my US brokerage account.
The money went into a CAD cash account in the brokerage.
The "dollar" amount in that CAD cash account is wrong.
If I change the CAD account type from cash to asset,
then the "dollar" amount is correct.
So, are Cash account types limited to the default currency?
No, not in my experience. I have GnuCash accounts of type "Cash" with
currencies set to CAD, USD, EUR, JPY. My default currency is CAD. I have
not had problems with accounts having the wrong numbers by virtue of
their type being "Cash".
From your description, the difference in account balance correlates
with a transaction that is in a currency which you don't often use.
Maybe the currency handling is not correct. Do your book properties
include using trading accounts? Do you have a GnuCash account for the
CAD cash balance in your brokerage which is separate from the GnuCash
account for the USD cash balance?
