Recursive Ledger
A Recursive Ledger is a list of Transactions from the perspective of a particular Account, and all the Transactions party to all child Accounts of that Account. Recursive Ledgers are ordered by Transaction time, and include a running Account Balance for every line.
If you request a Recursive Ledger in a unit other than the target Account native unit, or if child Accounts feature heterogenous units, Amatino will compute and return unrealised gains and losses. Find out more in the Unrealised Gains and Losses article
Amatino will return a maximum total of 1,000 Ledger Rows per retrieval request. If the Ledger you define spans more than 1,000 rows, it will be broken into pages you can retrieve seperately.
