The following refers primarily to importing in V3.3 and later. The CSV importer was rewritten going from 2.6. to v3.0 and was likely only tested on basic functionality. At the moment I am doing extensive systematic testing of the CSV importer and settings with a view to identifying as many of the problems as possible and fixing them.
The CSV importer currently does not work properly importing multi currency transactions. I have not yet tested it on trading accounts specifically but that is in the todo loop for the near future. With multicurrency imports one problem is associated with applying the price so it is possible the same problem extends to trading accounts. There also appear to be some problems with the transaction export using File->Export Transactions to CSV as it only appears to export the headers and no data. I have found File->Export Transactions from Active Register is working correctly for single currency transactions and multicurrency transactions so far. To have a chance at importing it use the GnuCash Export Settings in the import and leave all the other settings at the default settings apart from the multisplit check box which needs to be checked to import multiline data and setting the correct date format. It is usually necessary to play around a bit with the assignment of columns as the headers and column labels aren't always a 1-1 match. If you do find a combination of settings which works could you please let me know. There is a problem with date formats in that the locale setting is not currently being used to set the default date format. Once it is matched though it usually works OK. I usually have to reset it to my usual local format on all imports.
