Showing the sign on the traditional way meaning positive for income and negative for expenses could also have some consequences.
For example: I see the transactions related to my banking account. Here when I have a transaction where it is a expense, it is logical that the legs of the transaction related to my banking account is shown as negative (because it is shown like on my banking )but if E want to show the legs of the transaction also related to the "expense category" as negative I will finish to SHOW both of the legs as negative. Does it could be quite weird ?
