When can cutting trades help me? This procedure is useful when a transaction was listed out of chronological order on your broker trade history report, and therefore was not imported and matched properly.  Cutting the transaction and pasting it back into the data file inserts the transaction at the end of the day so it can be matched properly. From the Adjustments menu, click Rematch after pasting to rematch all trades in the data file.
