Hi,
I've created different securities and trading accounts for a few
stocks and crypto I own.
But I don't know how to create an "opening" balance for them. I cannot
create an account under Equity with anything other than a currency.
How should I proceed?
Thanks.

When you create a transaction between accounts with different
commodities you will get a price column. That's the multiplier to
convert from one commodity to the other. So you go into your stock
account and create a new transaction that has Equity as the other
account. Then put an appropriate value
Thanks, I could create a new transaction using an equity account to
get an opening balance.
I don't understand what role the "Trading" type of accounts plays in
all this. I'll RTFM. :-)

I have a similar problem. It occurs in both 4.10.x and 4.11. I think it
also occurred in 4.9 but can't remember. I encountered it on windows 10
and windows 11. I run Gnucash monthly. Importing CSV bank and credit card
statements always works. I don't import investment transactions as

Remember that you can get automatic save on each transaction by switching to
the Sqlite3 backend by using File>Save As... and selecting Sqlite3 from the
drop-down at the top of the dialog box.
Note that Sqlite3 changes the file in place so there are no GnuCash backups.

Tom,
If you really want to remove the value of an account from your data you can
enter a transaction to zero out the account the same way you close a bank
or credit card account by moving the funds to another location.
Alternatively, create an account balance report that only includes the

Reminder --- you do NOT have to use the "opening balance" shortcut when
adding new accounts. You can instead create the new account with zero
balance and

Perhaps another user misunderstood your question. John R is a major
developer and he has a very good idea of what is going on inside the
program. Clarifying the documentation is always appreciated.

David, I was NOT asking about how the program worked
John,
Thanks for the pointer on how to get a stack trace. I will see whether I
can find anything useful.
Either way, I will try the Sqlite3 backend eventually. I do have File
