Yes, but you don't need SXes for this -- you only need to post-date
transactions.  E.g. you enter transactions dated in the future.  You
don't need to use SXes for this.

Ideally we'd have a report that would project the balances based on
SXes without actually requiring you to post the SX into the accounts.
