Mark,
I import my transactions from Interactive Brokers - it works very nicely. However, FM puts the interests that I monthly pay to IB (for my margin account) in the "redemptions" section of my cash account. Which is fine, of course - but lately I realized it would make more sense to put them as "interest income" (using negative values, of course). And I did that - I manually moved these entries from the redemption section to the interest income section (using negative values). However, what happened is that the total value of my portfolio does NOT consider those negative entries anymore. In other words, my portfolio value does not decrease (as it should, I guess) when I enter a negative value in the interest income section of my cash account. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
John
PS suggestion: it would be REALLY nice to be able to move entries from one section to another (example: from "redemption" to "account fees" and viceversa, etc. etc. ) without having to manually copy all the information and to delete the original entries.
