It would be great to have the ability to use both the virtual cash account and broker synchronization functionalities together. Currently, when broker sync is enabled, we pull in the broker's balance as a cash transaction, which differs from the manual deposits tracked in the cash account.
This makes it difficult to use both features simultaneously.
However, we can have both by deactivating the cash value computed in the cash account from being added to the portfolio value. This way, broker sync can coexist with the cash account without adding conflicting values.
A more seamless solution would be to have the broker balance automatically match the cash account values. This would allow the broker’s balance to update the cash account, providing more accurate tracking of cash holdings while still benefiting from the detailed functionality of the cash account. By doing this, users could keep the cash account values synced with their broker's balance without conflicts, making the experience smoother.

Your Cash Account can now take its balance from your connected broker. Switch the Cash Account on, and for each currency your broker reports, the balance shown is the one your broker last sent. It stays that way as your trade history changes, so you no longer have to reconstruct years of deposits to make it agree.
For money no broker reports, a bank account or cash held elsewhere, the page now has Set my balance: enter what you actually hold and the ledger adjusts itself to match.
Each currency also shows how much came from your brokers and how much is your own.
