Hello.
I have have had an "unrealized loss" showing on my balance sheet for years. I
haven't bothered too much as the amount is extremely small. (€7.70).
I had kind advice on this forum as to identify the date on which the loss
showed up and the procedure to cancel it. I did find the date but stangely not
the transaction. So I'm not going to keep trying to cancel the loss any longer.
I read that, without actually "cancelling" the loss, it is possible to prevent
it from showing. I know that this is not legal for a company, but my book
keeping is fully personal so I'd like to know the procedure.
“Cancelling” isn’t really the right term. You need to record the loss as either
expense or negative income depending on how you handle capital gains. There’s
an explanation of how to do this in [

I have identified the day on which the unrealized lossed first appeared. I have
drawn a transaction report for that day (and the day before). There is no
transaction that can remotely explain the loss.
I do not handle foreign currencies. Regarding shares I do not use trader
accounts or split transactions including profits or losses. I do not enter
share values into GC until the day I sell them. There is no way in the meantime
GC can take into account a difference in value.
Something might help identify where the problem comes from: I had another
instance with an unrealized loss as big as my total yearly income. It went away
a few weeks (or months I'm not sure) after it showed up. There is no way a
single transaction (or even a few ) on a particular day triggered an unrealized
loss as big as my yearly income.
What I would like at this stage is simply set GC NOT to SHOW unrealized
losses/gains. No legal problem as I'm only managing my personal familyaccounts.
TIA for you help

I tried the following:
C an equity account "Unrealized loss" : EUR 7.70
D an income account "Realized loss" : EUR 7.70
The total Equity remained the same - 7.70
I changed the signs and the total equity remained at - 7.70
I don't get it.
TIA
Alain
