What version of aqbanking do you have?

I think it's likely that the biggest part of your problem is that  
aqbanking doesn't know how to handle security buys and sells yet.

If you can download the ofx separately, and then use Import/import ofx/ 
qfx..., you should get better results when libofx handles the stock  
transactions.

There is a way to have aqbanking do part of that, but it involves  
turning on the ofx log feature and then digging the file out of /tmp  
after you cancel the import from gnucash's Import Matcher window.
