[GNC-dev] Trading Accounts 797701

[David Cousens]

In a recnt discussion with
(http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=user_nodes&user=378901)
around capital gains and realized and unrealized gains, I had occasion to
acquaint myself with trading accounts. The current version of Ch12 only
deals with the manual calculation of multiple currencies and while it
mentions trading accounts it is mainly by reference to peter Selinger's
tutorials (https://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/accounting/tutorial.html
and https://www.mscs.dal.ca/~selinger/accounting/gnucash.html). The user
became confused and i also ended up confused largely because peter
Selinger's articles do not discuss the trading account implementation in
GnuCash as it is now.  

I am proposing expanding Ch12 as per the outline in
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797701 to include trading accounts.
