Thank you Justus! This is exactly what I want. Listing every lot is a bit
verbose, but it's a once-in-a-while thing, so I am okay with it.
One thing surprises me is that the receiving broker (InteractiveBrokers, to be
exact) does not preserve the cost basis. In its PDF statement and the TWS, the
cost basis of the inbound positions is the price when IBKR receives the
positions. It's my first time doing ACATS, so I have no idea if this is a
normal thing.
Anyway, I am satifsfied that Beancount is able to keep the lots info (cost
basis, date) even when the broker is unable to :-)
