Trading Accounts

I have a "test" laptop with GC 2.6.17 running the latest Linux Mint. I
opened GC and tried using Trading Accounts, did check and repair, noted
the totals of assets, liabilities, income and expense before and after.
There was no difference. I then ran a Income and Expense report for
year 2016 (which is the same as my production GC and compared the two.
Again there was no difference in totals between the two GC files.
So, exactly what does Trading Accounts actually do? I noticed that when
viewing a stock transaction using auto-split view, there are added lines
showing trading: currencies and trading: exchange and stock symbol, that
does not appear without trading accounts.
Thanks,
Les
