I presume you have an asset account that holds all these transactions -- most likely a parent account.  If so, I would add the "Total (Period)" column on the accounts tab.  That way you have nothing further to do and have the number available at all times for instant inspection.

The other option is to do a transaction report to pick the relevant accounts (and their children) for the current (or specified) year and maybe just ask for the grand total.

Hello,

for… tax reasons¹… I need to be able to tell if in a given year the sum
of money I used to buy/sell financial instruments is above a certain
number (so I need to sum up money used to buy and deduct all money
received when selling).

In practice I'd like to sum up all transactions that involved trading
non-currencies in a given year.
I don't do a ton of transactions, but still enough and across plenty of
instruments and across several brokerage firms, so my CoA is quite
convoluted.

How would you recommend I do such query in gnucash?




¹ In Italy, this is then used to compute the "ISEE" (an indicator of the
economic condition of the family).  But tbh it is an interesting number
to have on its own. :)
