OK, I have an investment account named 401k.<br>
I have a checking account named brokerage with asset as a parent
account.<br>
It looks like I had that part right, It seems my issue was adding
transactions.<br>
Let's say, I get cash from my pay, I have it so that money goes into
the brokerage(checking) account. <br>
I then need to buy shares with the money from the brokerage account
that will be added to the 401k(investment) account. I think this is
where things get messed up.<br>
Thanks for the help by the way, I have been working on getting this
straightened out for months<br>

I didn't actually track my own 401k until I rolled it over into an
IRA, but I don't really see any difference. Just use an
Investment account, with an associated Brokerage (checking)
account. The investments all go as securities in the investment
account and all cash transactions go in the brokerage account.
The main issue I've found is that you can't do OFX imports, since
most brokerage firms do not distinguish the investment and cash
portions as KMM does, so they lump all transactions. I know one
of the developers has been working to get the csv importer to
handle this, but I'm not really sure how far along he is, even
though I should. The other option is to do the import, but know
that some of the transactions will have to be moved to the other
account.
<br>
<br>
Minor issues: most securities (stocks, bonds, mutual funds) map
easily to KMM securities, and you can automatically fetch prices
from one of the several available sources for that data. I've had
a small number of investments where that didn't work, so I have to
manually do price updates or value adjustments.
<br>
<br>
This should be enough to get started - let us know if you have
any specific questions or problems.
