The Back-in-Time (BiT) report can be used to help locate discrepancies in your transactions.

STOCKMARKETEYE HOW TO
How To Check Your Transactions for Accuracy and Completeness However, StockMarketEye can not automatically correct for all inaccurate data so it is best to double check your transactions for accuracy, whether they were entered by hand or imported from a brokerage or file. This can cause placeholder transactions to be created. StockMarketEye tries to correct for certain problems in the transactions when importing from a brokerage. An out-of-sync portfolio can be remedied by rebuilding the Prices view from the transactions. It may also be a sign that your Portfolio's Prices view has become out-of-sync with the transactions. If you notice discrepancies between your Portfolio's market value chart and the Prices view, this can be due to inaccurate or incomplete transactions. If the transactions are not accurate or if there are missing transactions, the resulting back-in-time view will not be accurate.

To compute performance values, StockMarketEye builds your portfolio from scratch using the transactions recorded in the Transactions report. Incomplete or inaccurate transactions will cause discrepancies in various places within StockMarketEye. One of the first places you may notice these discrepancies is in the Summary report. Where Will the Effects of Inaccurate or Incomplete Transactions be Visible? If there was activity in the portfolio that was not included in the Transactions report, or values in the Transactions report that are not consistent with the current holdings (Prices view), it will affect what you see in the Portfolio’s market value chart, Summary report and Back-in-Time report. StockMarketEye uses the transactions from this report in a number of different situations, and the completeness and accuracy of the transactions affects the calculations that StockMarketEye makes. The list of transactions in the Transactions report should be as complete and accurate as possible. Transactions are a record of the activity that occurred in your portfolio - from the first deposit of funds or transfer of stock, through all of the sales, purchases, dividends, interest, fees and other activity that occurred since then. Your portfolio’s transactions are recorded in the Transactions report.
