I used to use Quicken's budgeting features, but found it buggy and it would
mislead me... so I moved the budget to a spreadsheet. I then run reports in
GnuCash to look at my expenditures and compare them to the spreadsheet.
I'm doing a fixed amount per month because it is easier... but a better
Excellent (thanks!) - I'm going to make use of hiding old accounts!

After it is hidden you can still get to it by going to the accounts page,

For old, unused accounts, say closed credit cards, I created a placeholder
in Credit Cards called "ZZZ_closed" and then edit the closed credit card to
make it's parent directory ZZZ_closed. That way, I keep all of the
transactions, but it isn't in the current list.
Hiding sounds better, as long
This was helpful; I didn't even know that there was an option to hide an
account
But how does one un-hide an account? (say a question arises about something
in that account from the past?)

Trading gains will be reflected as negative in COA.

Thank you.
If the Balance Sheet said: Retained Earnings/Losses
then it would make sense for my report to have a red negative number.
The Trading Gains number is positive on my report,
but is negative in the COA. Is that to be expected?

I have upgraded my GnuCash program 4.13 to 5.0 (Build ID: 5.0+(2023-03-25))
after realizing that the budget expense calculations were not correct. Not all
the budget reports are wrong, but of the reports that I choose to use that are
wrong are:
1. Budget Income Statement
2. Budget Profit
I agree with Michael on this, deleting accounts has a knock on effect that
isn't always apparent.
In one firm I worked for, the GM took it upon himself to delete a load of
customer accounts that were at zero when I was away.
This was Sage Line 50, it totally screwed the accounts but was not
