sell stock

[Derek Atkins]

It all has to be in one split transaction.  You have AT LEAST FOUR splits:

1) The stock sale in the stock account      (sale)
2) The stock sale in the cash account       (net)
3) The stock gain in the stock account      (gain)
4) The stock gain in the income account     (gain)

Optionally you can have a commission in the expense account.

sale = net+commission
gain = gain
