<p>Hi Thomas -</p>
<p>Finally got around to playing with the data in LibreOffice and
normalizing to hide the actual amounts. What I did was looked at
the last ~2 years (January 2018 to present). I have included my
ODS file with a simple graph. Basically two columns, first is
month-over-month change which generally hovers right around
98%-104% (which makes sense as net worth month over month doesn't
change that much). Next column is more revealing as that is the %
of the initial base value in January 2018. From that you can see
that there is a clear trend upwards and that over the 32 month
period my household net worth is 200% of what it was in January
2018. Furthermore, month-over-month 25 of the 33 months (excluding
base month in 2018) were positive changes to my household net
worth. Yet, the default net worth chart shows a clear <i>downward</i>
trend which makes no sense. Including that chart also (not
including values).</p>
<p>Something seems very strange.</p>
<p>Thanks!<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi All,
The forecast feature is really off. My net worth has gone up every month
for the past several years yet KMyMoney shows graphs and tables that
predict my net worth to go down. I'm not willing to share my actual net
worth but I'm willing to share a percentage over time. Forecast has
never worked well so I'm not sure if I should report to mailing list
(because it's still way off in development build) or if I should report
to bugzilla. Let me know where and what information would be useful to
share in order for it to be useful to developers.

That sounds very strange. Since the forecast support two very different
modes it would be interesting, which one of them you are using:
a) Scheduled, based on scheduled transactions
b) History, based on the recent history
On top of that there is a set of more parameters to tweak the forecast.
All of them may have some influence in your case.
What happens if you 'play' with those parameters?
Oh, and to answer your question: the user list might be an appropriate
place to ask (as is the forum) until we make sure, that this is really
a software bug.
Regards
Thomas
