Could someone clarify the effects of @@ syntax in trades, compared to @ syntax? I have gone through a few documents related to trading and inventories, and none of them seem to contain the "@@" term.
The GnuCash export script spits out all trades in "100 VHY @@ 320 AUD" format. For this reason, queries and fava reports were confusing to me, since there is no cost basis nor the present/market value. >From this, I would conclude that the @@ syntax is not the same as @ one. The @ syntax adds the price - cost basis and establishes the lot. The @@ syntax does not seem to do that at all. A potential problem in that regard will be getting the correct price due to the rounding. Looking at the GnuCash schema, the price is also not kept, similar to BeanCount. There is a Quantity (i.e. 100 units of account commodity, in this case VHY), and Value (320 units of transaction commodity, in this case AUD). This is my assumption and the whole process seems a bit convoluted. In order to try to keep the compatibility, I will calculate the price during the export process. This will be limited to non-currency commodities only. However, I'd like to know the effects of one vs the other approach to data export. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
