I just shared / checked-in some code that can use the Ameritrade API and convert a list of transactions to Beancount: https://github.com/blais/ameritrade/commit/1b5ddae18ba3abbff19a9538e2e4f1cab3fed84a This has worked a lot better for me than parsing the CSV downloads they provide (I switched at

I think both of these approaches are sensible. Doing it at report time has the advantage of keeping the transactions free of cruft. A con though is that you can't just leverage an aggregation (via SQL) to compute what you need. Doing it by modifying transactions explicitly rebooks the bits and

Re: Why is booking done before plugins

Yes. It's a catch 22. Booking first allows some more interpolation, and interpolation first allows some more booking. Choosing do to one before the other provides different benefits. I wrote a doc somewhere with a bunch of examples trying to wrap my head around this, and came up with this

Use bean-bake, or if you cannot, write a script that will upload journals to a spreadsheet. On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 9:12 PM Red S wrote: > Right, but it groups postings together by transaction, which is exactly > what transactions are: groups of postings. > > If this is not what you want, what

Re: Beancount issues

Thank you Daniele. Just as I had pretty much decided to give in to the Github... I had ruled out Heptapod as it seemed to have only a few projects it itself owned just even last week (and now I see the list growing, so it's morphing into a hosting solution). Let me think about this a bit more.
