Unbalanced transaction?

[alensiljak]

Running hledger on my ledger book record:

2014-06-02 Sell XYZ
	; 0.95 AUD
	Assets:Investments:ANZ:Shares:XYZ  	       -5000 XYZ {0.47 AUD} [2013-02-25] @@ 4750.00 AUD
	Expenses:Commissions                           19.95 AUD
	Income:Investment:Capital Gains             -2400.00 AUD
	Assets:Investments:Cash  		     4730.05 AUD

gives me an error:

This multi-commodity transaction is unbalanced.
The real postings' sum should be 0 but is: -2,400.00 AUD
Consider adjusting this entry's amounts, adding missing postings,
or recording conversion price(s) with @, @@ or equity postings.

I see in the docs that the @ and @@ syntax is supported.
If I comment-out the Capital Gains line, ledger complains about the 2400 missing.
This is probably due to the price syntax not being supported?

Yes we ignore the {} syntax, I expect that's the reason. https://hledger.org/1.27/hledger.html#lot-prices-lot-dates

OK, seems that this is related to #1015 and #1018. Should I close the issue?

Edit: as well as https://hledger.org/investments.html#what-about-lots-

[alensiljak]

Right. The 5000 of XYZ were paid 0.47, which is $2,350. Hence the $2,400 Capital Gain requirement.

Yes this one can be closed, F.A.D.
