[GNC] Trading accounts functionality

[zuperkoleoptera at gmail.com]

I have been using lots and scrubing my investment accounts to track
realized gains. But since I have turned on trading accounts I have not
scrubbed any account. 

I am attaching an example of 2 splits created after turning on trading
accounts. As a side-note some of the account names are in Greek...    
This is a past purchase of bitcoin using euros. So the system has
created (1) a split to Trading:CURRENCY:EUR for 39.90 and (2) a split
in Trasing:Crypto Currency:BTC-EUR fro 0.0011 BTC, which by the way it
does not use the default security fraction which is 1/00000000 but
1/0000.   

Furthermore the system recognises that the transaction is not balanced
and each time I try to change the splits it pops up the window that I
am attaching you in the 2nd file. 

To my understanding the system has created a bunch of splits in all my
transactions involved with my crypto portfolio that I need to go and
manualy rebalance.   

Did any of the above helped to you to understand the situation better?
