Convert amounts to some related value in various ways. This involves looking up historical market prices (exchange rates) between commodities.
Which operation to perform on conversion transactions. (There was also an "infer equity postings" operation, but that is now done earlier, in journal finalisation.)

Generate a price oracle (memoising price lookup function) from a journal's directive-declared and transaction-inferred market prices. For best performance, generate this only once per journal, reusing it across reports if there are more than one, as compoundBalanceCommand does. The boolean argument is whether to infer market prices from transactions or not.
Convert all component amounts to cost/selling price if requested, and style them.
Apply a specified valuation to this mixed amount, using the provided price oracle, commodity styles, and reference dates. See amountApplyValuation.
Find the market value of each component amount in the given commodity, or its default valuation commodity, at the given valuation date, using the given market price oracle. When market prices available on that date are not sufficient to calculate the value, amounts are left unchanged.
Calculate the gain of each component amount, that is the difference between the valued amount and the value of the cost basis (see mixedAmountApplyValuation).
If the commodity we are valuing in is not the same as the commodity of the cost, this will value the cost at the same date as the primary amount. This may not be what you want; for example you may want the cost valued at the posting date. If so, let us know and we can change this behaviour.

Infer a market price from the given amount and its cost (if any), and make a corresponding price directive on the given date. The price's display precision will be set to show all significant decimal digits; or if they seem to be infinite, defaultPrecisionLimit.
