David,

Please start a new email when you want to start a new conversation. It’s much 
friendlier to the thread-following in everyone’s’ mail clients and also makes 
searching the list archives easier.

Look at different periods in the trial balance report. Try running one for 5 
years ago. Was there an unrealized gain or loss? If so try 10 years ago; if not 
3 years ago, and so on. If you find that the unrealized gain has accumulated 
over time then you’ll need to create post-dated transactions or correct 
existing ones to get it to balance as you go. If it’s just one broken 
transaction then binary-searching with the dates is the fastest way to find it.

Regards,
John Ralls
