Stock in Two Accounts

[johnreid]

I have a number of stocks that I hold in separate accounts. When I purchased the stock it showed up properly in the appropriate place. When I purchased more in a different account, the total shares show up in both accounts. So I had 500 shares of X stock; I purchased 300 shares of X stock in a different account. How do I set the system up so that it does not give me 800 shares of X stock in both accounts?

Do I have to have separate entries for each group of stock?

Hi johnreid,

You need to have a separate investment for each holding of a particular security. So, create a new investment for each holding, and then record the appropriate transaction in each investment. For more on this, see this FAQ:
