What I do is assign a unique identifier to each "position", so that by querying later I can see every transaction related to that position, including those short-term sales and repurchases that do nothing more than effect the cost basis. Btw, I'm working on a new utility called "trade-journal" that is a simplified Ledger focused just on keeping a trading journal, which converts its input files into properly annotated Ledger files, thus saving you from most of the calculation and repetition. https://github.com/jwiegley/thinkorswim/tree/master/trade-journal John -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.

Re: Updating lot information for an automated transaction
Any guidance on this? It would really help me a lot to have the sale date
and sale price of each of these "Sold Lots" lots. I need to be able to
determine the fraction of the capital gain that was earned in the calendar
year of the sale (i.e. (asset sale price) - (asset price on Jan 1st in the
year of the sale)).

Updating lot information for an automated transaction
I am trying to track previously sold lots in ledger using automated
transactions. I have created this automated transaction rule to achieve
this:
= /^Assets:Investments:/ & (expr amount < 0) & tag("realized-capital-gains")
(Sold Lots:$account) (-1 * amount)
I wanted to know if it's possible for me to update the lot details for
these transactions; in particular, I wanted to add a customized note to the
generated lot indicating the date of sale and the sale price per share.
