you should use real world data not GnuCash for that, GnuCash does not
and cannot contain or represent a view of anything other than the
transactions within a file.

Untrue, you can decide arbitrarily, don't make GnuCash responsible for
your decisions, please!

GnuCash does not record the trading related data you seem to think it does.

I think that would be sad, in any event no new reports are likely to be
written for use *inside* GnuCash any time soon.  There is other work to
be done.

Reports outside (sql is good) are within your remit, or mine ...

GnuCash project as a whole if you defined them well enough and I accepted.
