Bean check invalid tokens when setting up new file

2022-05-11 Thread Travis Arnold 
Hello all,
I am new to PTA and Beancount. I am trying to begin entering transactions 
and I get errors when I run bean-check and I am not sure why, I get invalid 
tokens on the line I list my Expenses:dentist, Expenses:auto:gas etc. 

I added the expense accounts to the list of open accounts and that did not 
solve my problem. I am using Emacs bean count mode and I did notice the 
Assets and Liabilities are bold however next to the open directive and also 
bold under my initial balance transaction. The getting started says have a 
section, but does not say to add the expenses with the open directive, I am 
just not sure what I am doing wrong.

Here is the contents of my file:

;; -*- mode: beancount; coding: utf-8; fill-column: 400; -*-
option "title" "My Personal Ledger"
option "operating_currency" "USD"

Here are the errors I get when I run bean-check, I've since commented my 
note out.

Re: New Fava extension: Tax loss harvester

2022-05-11 Thread Red S 
This is a good week (at least for US index investors) to consider whether 
tax-loss harvesting might benefit you. To help with that, here is an 
article I wrote on it:


*Tax Loss Harvesting with Beancount 
*
Includes requirements, wash sale subtleties and safe to sell/buy dates, and 
comparisons to robo-advisors.

And here is the fava_investor TLH module 
.
 
It's not just for fava: a plain-beancount command line version is also 
included.
