Yeah, it was a problem with multiple lots, so that's why it wouldn't
balance if I put the price in the new lot (because of the gains) or that no
lots match if I put the price in lots being sold.
I was able to simply do:
2004-12-21 * "Autodesk stock splits"
Assets:US:MSSB:ADSK -100 ADSK {}
Assets:US:MSSB:ADSK 200 ADSK {}
And added an old date to the new lot to track long term vs short term.
Thanks all.
