Ledger appears to break the fundamental accounting eqn when using multiple
currencies:
2013/01/01 * Equity
Equity:Opening balances $ -1000
Assets:BofA $ 1000
2013/01/02 * Oxbridge purchase (A337380)
Assets:Metals:PAMP Suisse gold XAU 1 @ $ 1000
Assets:BofA $ -1000
P 2013/01/03 02:18:01 XAU $1100
2013/01/19 * Sale (A337380)
Assets:Metals:PAMP Suisse gold XAU -1 {$1000} @ $ 2000
Income:Trading:Gold trades $ -1000
Assets:BofA $ 2000
when running ledger bal:
ledger -f tmp/test.dat bal
$ 2000 Assets:BofA
0 Equity
$ 1000 Capital Gains
$ -1000 Opening balances
$ -1000 Income:Trading:Gold trades
--------------------
$ 1000
but see, it does not balance. If I do:
ledger -f tmp/test.dat bal -B
$ 1000 Assets
$ 2000 BofA
$ -1000 Metals:PAMP Suisse gold
0 Equity
$ 1000 Capital Gains
$ -1000 Opening balances
$ -1000 Income:Trading:Gold trades
--------------------
0
then it balances.
What gives? How best to do accounting for multiple currencies then?
