How to record a transfer between accounts?
Manual transfers in QIS can credit and/or debit an instrument quantity to a single account. A transaction cannot affect multiple accounts. A transfer between accounts should be recorded as 2 separate transactions: a deposit to one account and a separate withdrawal from another account for the same amount.

What are the different transaction "Types"?
Manual transactions need to be classified as Income, Trade or Transfer (default). This is used mainly for calculating PnL and Performance calculations.
Automatic transactions are automatically classified into one of these types as well.
How are tokens marked as illiquid or staked?
Illiquid and staked positions are special types of sub-accounts in QIS. You can record credits and debits to theses sub-accounts using the same approach as you would for recording manual transactions to the main account.
If needed you can specify this in the transaction editor under the "Sub Account" field.
Note however that a transaction can only affect a single sub-account at a time. An operation like staking tokens would therefore be recorded as 2 separate transactions: one to withdraw the tokens from the main account and another to deposit the balance with "Sub Account" marked "staked".
How can I create additional sub-accounts for my portfolios?
On the transaction editor, you can enter up to 5 name/value tags. These can later be used to search and group positions into your own user-defined sub-accounts.
For example, you may want to classify all trades according to investment strategy. For this you should mark all transactions with a tag named "strategy" and the respective value ("yield", "arbitrage", etc.).
This is an advance use case and we suggest discussing it with the QIS Team who can help.
