Hello, I am very new to Beancount as I want to keep track of my trading 
activities and generate reports with FIFO settings. I love the tool so far 
and the community around it. 

1)
To get started, I want to better understand how Lots are handled and 
therefore want to report active Lots. In the docs (how inventories work > 
cost basis) there is a very good example of what I am looking for 

```units ccy cost cost-ccy lot-date label 
 25 HOOL {23.00 USD, 2015-04-01, "first-lot"} 35 HOOL {27.00 USD, 
2015-05-01, None}```

I tried `bean-report books.beancount holdings` but only get a total of the 
account, not the active Lots within. what else could I try?

2) 
As a bonus, I would like to ask how it could be possible to track my trades 
so that I can analyse the outcome. I am thinking of categories like 
timeframe or setup. The query for example could be: show me the outcome of 
all trades based on the 1H chart (this way I could see where my profits 
come from, interesting to know). problem I see is that I would have to book 
it in order to have it available to query, but I would make an entry for 
PnL instead, right? 

looking forward to what you have in mind about it.
thanks
