Hi. New user here, but I'll jump in.

I'm not sure what you mean by "does not show any date before". When you enter transactions, you ENTER a date. Sure, it shows you a date by default, but don't have to use that. Just highlight the date shown, and enter 2017-07-15 or whatever (in your date format).

There's a nice shortcut. In Edit » Preferences, on the Date/Tie tab, select the last radio button, "in a sliding 12-month window" and select
8 for "this many months before the current month." Then you can enter a date as 7-15 (for example, but use your format) and it will supply 2017 because the "window" runs from 8 months before now to 4 months after now.
