[GNC] Two accounts with same name in same Trading account

[Murugan Mariappan]

Hi Fred,

 Regarding the issue of having two accounts with the same name, it's possible that you created the same security under two different namespaces. This would cause the trading to treat them as separate accounts.

Could this be the case?

Best regards,


Murugan

It is the same stock (oneok OKE)
One of those Trading accounts has 7 transactions.
The other has 3 transactions.  With different dates.
I am leaving things alone in case someone wants to debug the issue.
