I can say that automatic insertion of Trading Account splits in a posting 
mostly comes handy.

If, in a currency exchange transaction/posting, you add cost in one of the 
currency, the trading account would only include the remaining amount and the 
balance would be correct. 
Let me try to write some pseudo code but note that I'm on tablet so it will be 
minimalistic.

2019/04/20 Buying some dollars
    Assets:Cash (EUR)            -100 EUR
    Expenses:Commission             5 EUR
    Assets:Cash (USD)              80 USD
    Currency:EUR                   95 EUR
    Currency:USD                  -80 USD

This should account for the commission and keep an accurate track of the 
gains/loss with currencies?
