I also didn't like seeing my net profit as negative (even though it's
positive), so I added an option to fava to flip the sign of the Income,
Liabilities and Equity accounts: https://github.com/beancount/fava/pull/1214
Keep in mind though that it will only flip the signs in the user
interface though, and won't change anything with the internal beancount
accounting.
Cheers,
Andreas

One important design decision in beancount (an idea borrowed from Ledger
originally) is to do away with credit accounts and debit accounts.
Income, liabilities and equity accounts all normally have negative
signs, so that is correct. (It's a bit like programmers counting from
zero and not one).
See the a section in the documentation about this.

I followed the Beancount getting started guide, and made
transactions from my bank account to my different categories like this:
2019-01-24 * "Employer" "Invoice 23"
Income:DE:Salary
Assets:Bank 2000 EUR
2019-01-02 * "Stromio GmbH" "ABSCHLAG Strom"
Assets:Bank -87.0 EUR
Expenses:Core:Electricity
However, if I saved money from my income, fava reports a negative
"net profit", and if I used more than I got, fava says I have a
positive "net profit". Am I doing things wrong somehow?
Thanks,
Andrew
