Account	Account name, as string
TxnDate	transaction date as ISO 8601, e.g., '2008-09-01' or '2010-01-05 09:54:23.12345'

Details

Adds capital transactions to a rudimentary transactions table in the Account object. This may be useful when tracking the denominator of returns when there are changes to the account's capital or significant interest income. In the Account$summary table, there are several placeholder columns that mimic the CFTC's 13-column report. Columns of interest here are "Additions", "Withdrawals", and "Interest". Transactions added with this function will be added into the appropriate one of three slots in the Account object (Account$additions, Account$withdrawals, or Account$Interest), which contains an xts object of individual transactions with a date and amount. The updateAcct function will read the transactions from each list in turn, aggregate them by the specified date scope, and slot them into the Account$summary table as it's built. updateEndEq should then just work.
