Bug: When balance and transaction exist on same day, balances not correctly calculated

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

There are two things worth fixing here:

1. The balance calculation should result in $100
2. The "balance update" should be based on the trend vs. previous balance ($100), and should be downward. Currently, it is an "upward" trend because we're comparing it against the previous known balance of $0.

Also why do we have to do a balance update manually? Shouldn't balance be calculated based on transactions/incomes in a day?

@mikr13 it might come in handy if you’re dealing with a lot of transactions and don’t mind if some are missing or if you made a mistake along the way. You know the balance but don’t have all the transaction details, so you can just update the balance manually

There are many use cases when doing manual entry. Frequently folks don't want to enter transaction data, they just want to update the balance of various accounts.

Yeah, that's fair. But what I noticed is that the transactions marked as expenses don't decrease the total balance in that account. Only when balance update is done then the account's balance changes.

Nvm, it was a bug or something. Transactions are properly updating balance!
