Observations:

bal --flat --no-total --lots shows {LOTPRICE} for A-I, and [LOTDATE] for A, B, F, G.
Ie @/@@ shows a lot date, {}/{{}} doesn't.

--revalued does nothing. --revalued-only with -V suppresses all postings.

reg -E --gain shows a -2 ETF, EUR 20 gain in C, D, H, I, J. With -V it shows no gains.

Related help:

     --lot-dates
              Report the date on which each commodity in a balance report was pur-
              chased.

     --lot-notes
              Report the tag attached to each commodity in a balance report.

     --lot-prices
              Report the price at which each commodity in a balance report was pur-
              chased.

     --lots   Report the date and price at which each commodity was purchased in a bal-
              ance report.

     --lots-actual
              Preserve the uniqueness of commodities so they aren't merged during
              reporting without printing the lot annotations.


     --revalued
              Report discrepancy in values for manual reports by inserting <Revalued>
              postings.  This is implied when using the --exchange (-X) or --market
              (-V) option.

     --revalued-only
              Show only <Revalued> postings.

     --revalued-total
              Display the sum of the revalued postings as the running total, which
              serves to show unrealized capital in a gain/losses report.


     --gain (-G)
              Report net gain or loss for commodities that have a price history.
