I have been doing it the way I do (actual = post / bank date, effective = transaction date or date of my choice) as I like to see balances in my register reports that match the bank statements, as it makes it a little easier to reconcile. Can you say why you decided to change it around? What benefit is there to having the effective / secondary date being the bank's date? I'm early in my use of ledger, so making this change would not be too hard, I would just like to understand more how it could help.
