GnuCash always prefers a direct conversion over an indirect one regardless of
the date. It's not optional. I suppose the problem arises because you're
trading USD-priced stocks from an EUR-denominated brokerage account and the
trades create the EUR prices. The simplest work around is to remove those EUR
prices from the pricedb; it won't affect the transaction or reports using the
average-cost price source. To avoid the problem going forward create an
intermediary USD bank account in your brokerage account hierarchy and when
recording the trade make separate splits for USD<->EUR and stock<->USD. Chris
Lam is working on a stock trading assistant to make this a bit less cumbersome;
we hope it will be finished in time for GnuCash 5.
