Use this guide to create a Cash Account and start tracking portfolio cash correctly.
Add a Cash Account
From the Portfolio Page.
Click +Add Holdings.
Select Add a Trade Manually.
On the Add a Trade Manually screen, choose Cash Account.
Enter the account name and currency.
Click Add Cash Account.
If you track multiple currencies, create a separate Cash Account for each one.
Set an opening balance
If you are migrating from an existing real-world cash balance:
Find and select the Cash Account on the Portfolio Page.
Select + Add Transaction
Type: Choose Deposit
Date: Enter the date of the opening balance or enter the “as at” date.
Amount: Enter the amount deposited.
Notes: Leave an optional note.
If you skip this step, the account starts from zero.
That can understate historical cash and affect portfolio reporting until you add the starting movement.
Your new Cash Account will now appear in your portfolio’s Holdings List.
Transaction types (when to use each)
Deposit: Money into the cash account
Withdrawal: Money out of the cash account
Interest Payment: Interest received
Fee: Non-interest account fee
Interest Charged: Interest paid
Avoid double-counting
If automation is enabled, Navexa may already create cash entries for eligible trades and income.
If you also add a manual entry for the same event, cash can be duplicated and balances/performance can be distorted.
