Martin Michlmayr:
Trading with Beancount chapter "Average Cost Booking":
> 2014-02-01 * “Selling 5 shares at market price 550 USD”
> Assets:Investments:Stock -5 GOOG {*}
> Assets:Investments:Cash 2759.95 USD
> Expenses:Commissions 9.95 USD
> Income:Investments:CapitalGains
5 * 550 = 2750 minus 9.95 commission means that assets:investments:cash should be 2740.05, not 2759.95 (2750 plus 9.95 commission).
Also, {*} I believe should be {} according to the new syntax.
