Hi Martin, Apologies if this was confusing. Can you elaborate on what is wrong? I have added comments to my transactions for your reference - Note the points till which bean-check shows no errors. Let me comment the individual transactions. ;; This transaction purchases BTC at Coinbase from Cash

Re: How to transfer lots between accounts and how to query lot information?
