Maybe none. What I'm hoping for is if I call ledger with --real, I would get the correct amounts in my real accounts. If I call ledger without it, I want the money that is in my savings to not be in either real account. What I have done right now is wrong I have Date Save [Assets:Checking] [Savings:Toys] 100 and LaterDate Transfer Assets:Checking Assets:Savings 100 The second entry makes sure that my Assets have the right totals with --real, but double books the savings with virtual postings on. So, I'm wondering how to modify my entries to get the totals right in both situations. Hopefully, this is slightly more clear?
