Hedge Fund Database structure
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I am playing with a toy application which aims to offer a type of fund management system.
I have taken a page from Database Answers here.
And this is what I have come up with:

I do not quite follow the db design:
LOT: Is this used by the investor to put up for sale a security in his or her account?
TransactionLots: I would imagine this is used to record the associated buy/seel for the given Lot.
Transactions consist of either sell or buy (sales or purchases). I would imagine that for each transaction there must be a sell AND a buy? AKA double entry accounting?
I added the "Account" table as a believe transaction will need to be debited from one account and credited to another account. Also, fees will need to be credited to a Fee account as well?
The last item is "Asset" which would be a currency or a security.
So my question. In this database schema, what is the actual product? When a user sets up his account, where will he find the products to buy? Or, when this starts, would we be the first "investor"?
I guess what I am asking is, HOW do the first securities enter into the system via this design?
