Buy and Sell are denominated in your default currency, which I guess 
(from your mail domain) would be EUR.

What do you have for "Smallest Fraction" when you "Edit" the account?

(I created a "Test" commodity with traded fraction 1/1000000, then 
assigned it as the commodity of a "test" account, leaving "Smallest 
Fraction" set to "Use commodity value". I then opened the account and 
entered a "buy" transaction, for 1.234567 units at a price of 14.00. 
Ledger now shows 1.234567 units at 13.9968 costing 17.28).
