You may need to explicitly set a commodity's display style, when reverse prices are used.
Eg this output might be surprising:
```journal
P 2000-01-01 A 2B
2000-01-01
a 1B
b
```
```shell
$ hledger print -x -X A
2000-01-01
a 0
b 0
```
Explanation: because there's no amount or commodity directive specifying a display style
for A, 0.5A gets the default style, which shows no decimal digits. Because the displayed
amount looks like zero, the commodity symbol and minus sign are not displayed either.
Adding a commodity directive sets a more useful display style for A:
```journal
P 2000-01-01 A 2B
commodity 0.00A
2000-01-01
a 1B
b
```
```shell
$ hledger print -X A
2000-01-01
a 0.50A
b -0.50A
```
