Based on Selinger's tutorial, the transaction to create a realized gain/loss out of unrealized g/l is simply from trading accounts into the gain/loss account. But obviously there is no (straight-forward) way of achieving this.

This aspect of Selinger’s tutorial doesn’t really apply to GnuCash.  Realized gains should be entered the way described in the GnuCash documentation.
