To all who replied: Thank you. Immediately after posting, I (of course) found what I was looking for. On the ‘accounts’ page, one of the selectable columns is “present”, which is actually current balance. My mistake was looking for the term ‘balance’. “Present” works very nicely. In the actual account page, the future transactions are separated from the current balance by a thick blue line, which also works perfectly for me.
Thanks for your help.

If you have the account register open you can see the present balance in the bottom left corner of the register next to the future balance, cleared balance, reconciled balance and projected minimum balances. You can run various reports to get many account balances on one page. If, for some reason you want to temporarily hide future transactions in a single account you can click View > Filter by > and choose to hide dates after today...

(There are lots of other options as well.) The former is today's balance, the latter takes into account all transactions.

Debits and credits different by tens of thousands. Most problems were easy to find and got the difference down to about $161.50. I walked the difference first by year, then by month and then by day until I found the day where it went from balanced (11/19/20) to unbalanced (11/20/20). Then ran a transaction report for 11/20/21. There were only two, sale of a stock and a dividend for another stock. The dividend entry had a debit with a corresponding credit in the correct accounts. The stock sale proceeds showed a debit for my sweep account (asset) but no credit for any other account although it showed a credit for the number of shares sold. Checked the stock account and sweep account and everything looked good. I ran a balance sheet for the day and assets minus liabilities equaled total equity. Finally, I did a side by side, line by line comparison of the 11/19/20 and 11/20/20 Trial Balance reports. Everything matched perfectly with the exception of the bank sweep account and the stock dividend account which reflected the transactions for 11/20/20. The only other differences was the unrealized gains for stocks and the daily downloaded stock prices from 11/19/20 to 11/20/20. I do not know what else to do to try to find the error.
