Forecast transactions are only supposed to be generated from the report start date if present, but they will actually be generated from the last journal transaction if present, and only displayed from the report start date. However, they can be revealed with a historical report.

$ hledger -f span.j reg --forecast -H -b 2021-02 -e 2021-02-05

2021-02-04                      (a)                              1          1034

If this were only generating forecast transactions from 2021-02, we would expect the total balance at the first step to be 1001.
