The trading accounts should be created automatically when you buy and sell shares and stock once the feature is enabled as described in the WIki. You don't need to create them at all. I have just started on documneting the use of trading accounts with currency transactions. They appear under their own top level account Trading of type Trading ( which is a specialized form of income account) .This will have a subaccount CURRENCY under which the currency exchange transactions are recorded in subaccounts for each currency in use. I would expect for stock trades you should get a sub-account COMMODITY automatically created and under that a trading account for each commodity/security you have buy/sell transactions for. I haven't tried to set it up yet myself but from my experience with the CURRENCY transactions this is what I would expect to happen.
