My situation is that I have personal accounts (CAD), a small business account (USD) and some trading accounts (CAD and USD).

I think I already know the answer, but is it possible to have a transaction across any two of the separate files, i.e. pay salary from the small business account file to the personal account file.

Presuming that it is not possible, I would need to have all three in one file. Which hierarchy would work best? Opinions on a post card please!! :)

Is it "better" to group by currency or ASSET/INCOME/...?
