Trouble adding new mutual fund

So I invested in a new mutual funds. NO, I DO NOT DOWNLOAD TRANSACTIONS, I enter them by hand.

So I entered the new stock, get the confirmation of the number of shares, uploaded everything and come out with a notation that according to "holdings" I have a LOSS on the fund the day I add it! I tried to make an adjustment and it just makes it worse because it won't let me enter a positive value. It has something to do with the "Holdings" values, but I can't find anyway to modify that. Somehow it thinks I have more stocks than I do but deleting the account and setting it up again doesn't help because then it just makes the loss even bigger! Again it has to do with "Holdings" but I can't find that list to edit.

    AH, I found it, It had to do with the date of purchase, which was yesterday, and while it looked ok, when I hit save, it changed the date to TODAY when I was trying to edit it. So from the Dashboard I had to edit the security price to yesterday and once I did that it was ok. I am sorry for taking anyone's time.
