I am not sure what the "recommended" method is, but what I do is  
setup a "Bank" account that holds the cash for each investment  
account that I have. All my security transactions involve a transfer  
from this account (BuyXfr, SellXfr, DivXfr, etx). This allows me to  
record interest for the cash the same way I do for bank accounts,  
record check numbers, etc.

If you download your transactions directly into Moneydance, this  
approach might not work for you.
