I have IRA acct with multiple securities holdings … I sold some of them during Nov and then over next few days I bought some other ones. Recently, I realized that the the ending balance was incorrect. Upon further inspection, I found that one of the transaction was not reflected in the balance .. it is there but its monetary value is not reflected in the balance. The transaction date is is Nov 28… Simply by accident, I changed the date of the transaction couple days later, and now the balance is showing up correctly. There are no other transactions between the two dates in question. I cant explain what is going on. Any ideas how to fix whatever the issue is so I dont second guess myself going forward ?

    This sounds like you have a Placeholder, perhaps hidden.

    Go to Edit > Preferences > Investments and make sure the Show hidden transactions box is checked.

    Look for a Placeholder around the 28th. It may be trying to add back one of the securities you sold. If so, delete it.
