There are probably a number of reasons why you may want cross trade, one advantage is that it allows you to back date purchases and sales to give you the best tax treatment/outcome. I have a super share fund and personal share fund so theoretically .. I could buy a share with my investment account when it moves up I can sell it to my super fund at an older/lower price and then harvest any profit via the super company and its tax rate. Conversely you can move your loses from one account to another to make them more tax effectively.
