How has this turned out? I've been very interested in the forecasting 
feature to keep my forecast checking balance between a low- and high-water 
mark, but the periodic implementation seems to fight this. All monthly 
things seem to be put on the first of the month, and yearly expenses are 
all but useless because I think they're all pushed to Jan 1.

Is there a way to day-by-day forecasting with ledger? What's the intent of 
the --forecast option? 

Thanks,

Forecast until "3 months from now"

2018-01-12 Thread Rob Napier
I'm using forecasting to show future balances. I'd like to be able to run a 
forecast for the next three or six months from today, but I haven't been 
able to find a date expression for that. I can say:

ledger --forecast "d<[next quarter]" ...

If I run that at the beginning of the quarter, that's three months, but 
near the end of the quarter it may only be one day. Is there a way to say 
the equivalent of:

ledger --forecast "d<[3 months from today]" ...

Thanks,
-Rob
