I just wish to warn you, that the ticker symbol is not unique. It depends on 
your FQ source:
If I ask yahoo, I have e.g. to enter <ISIN>EUR or <ISIN>.<place>, while for 
german sources union, deka, ... I have to enter the national security number 
WKN.

4) an expense account for fees

I fear it will become more complicated, because there are also questions about 
the structure of your account hierarchy, which might be affected by probably 
annualy changing local tax law.

Some criterias for structure: depot bank, risk, taxation, ...

But I think, we could improve the documentation at least with the questions, 
the user should answer to optimize her preferred structure.
