Starting from the source account is good practice no matter the type of transaction.

Since funds in double-entry have to 'come from somewhere' and 'go to somewhere', by always entering the transaction in the source account, you are always choosing the destination(s).

Life is much less confusing that way. (yes, yes, before anyone else chimes in, I know there are sometimes complicated transactions with multiple sources...)

Previously tried unsuccessfully to figure it out with trading accounts, but if 
I understand correctly, the key is to start in the source account.

So, we'll try that next.
