There still seems to be much that I only presumed to understand about how FM handles the default cash account...

When a stock investment is entered, it is also entered by default as a debit in the default cash account, correct? And when stock investments are closed, the debits are also closed by default in the default cash account.

If so, it would stand to reason, I think, that copied investments would receive the same default treatment. Maybe I'm missing something, though.

: You cannot "copy" transactions in FM. Do you mean you're copying the investments. When you copy investments this will not affect any transactions in a default cash account. Only entering/retrieving/importing transactions while a default cash account is assigned will cause a corresponding entry in the default cash account to be created.

: If you want to adjust the cash account balance, you can just edit/add a transaction in the default cash account to adjust the number of shares owned.
