Thanks for the link, I had missed that during my initial preview phase. I decided to just jump right in, and I already feel that it's the right choice.
Yes, I was referring to the lot prices. I see how it makes a lot of sense for normal stocks and other integer-valued assets. However, for fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies, I would expect tracking lots to be a huge headache (it's always fractional). Especially since I'm living in a very multi-currency situation even now. *However*, I've found that just having 2 trading accounts (1 for fiat-fiat exchange, 1 for crypto-crypto and fiat-crypto exchange) is enough to implement the "trading accounts" method. For each transaction, you can just specify: 2021-05-07 * "Self" "Example currency conversion" Assets:Cash -100 USD Assets:Cash 117 CAD Expenses:Exchange:Fiat 4 USD Income:Exchange:Fiat This will automatically track all FX (or crypto) income and fees separately. I'm not even certain a plugin needs to be developed, maybe a shortcut for "I did an exchange here". As I understand, the only downside is that all my gains/losses will be averaged out, so I can't do creative tax matching. However, since any crypto losses can only be weighed against future crypto gains (in my location), I don't see this as much of a problem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
