Yes, there's extensive documentation:
https://beancount.github.io/docs/how_inventories_work.html
https://beancount.github.io/docs/trading_with_beancount.html
I suggest reading and understanding those, and avoiding the @@ and {{
notations, at least at the beginning. Use @ and {} instead.
If you have specific problems, send us an output of your query, what you
expect, and what you get.
Hope that helps!
