Capital Gains Between Period

[tomlins...@gmail.com]

Hi, I’m an expat and therefore care about tax dates in multiple jurisdictions. How can I report on capital gains between arbitrary dates?
I expected that bean-report might accept start/end parameters but it does not. What am I missing?

P.s. thanks for the great project!

Don't use bean-report.

Use bean-query as much as possible.

See this thread for a light into what the future might hold, I want to delete that code:

The other key is to not "close" calendar or financial years; while crossing the new year date line, just continue accruing your transactions as normal.

It's only at reporting time that you open and close the period (see "open on" and "close on" syntax in the from clause).

See this doc: http://furius.ca/beancount/doc/query

The intro document explains pictorially what the "open" and "close" operations do:

I hope this helps,

P.s. thanks for the great project!

Thanks for using it!

Cheers,
