Jan: 2000.00 - 500.00 - 100.00 - 12.50 = 1387.50 Feb: 1387.50 + 2000.00 - 100.00 = 3287.50 On Tuesday, January 5, 2016 at 11:09:50 AM UTC-8, Chris wrote: > > I have noticed an interesting phenomenon when using ledger-cli to forecast > my accounts. > > Using the ledger file below: > ~ Yearly > Expenses:Auto $500.00 > Assets:Checking > > ~ Monthly > Income:Timberline -$2000.00 > Expenses:Dining $100.00 > Assets:Checking > > 2016/01/04 TACO BELL > Expenses:Dining $12.50 > Assets:Checking > > And this command: > ledger reg Checking -f .\test.dat --forecast "d<[2016/03/02]" > > I get the following output: > 16-Jan-04 TACO BELL Assets:Checking $-12.50 > $-12.50 > 16-Feb-01 Forecast transaction Assets:Checking $1900.00 > $1387.50 > 16-Mar-01 Forecast transaction Assets:Checking $1900.00 > $3287.50 > > Notice the incorrect math in the totals column.
