Don't negate transactions/balances from liability accounts #13

Closed alexdglover closed 1 month ago

alexdglover commented 2 months ago

Code currently multiplies balances by -1 to show liabilities as a negative value. However looking at actual exports from a few financial institutions, it looks like credit cards show purchases as a negative value and payments as a positive value. In other words, they don't need to be negated.

closing this - this is only true for transactions, balances are typically shown as positive values regardless of the type of account. so the negation is the correct thing to do
