+\f0\fs28 \cf0 Sometimes it's useful to know what your finances will look like in the\
+future, such as determining when an account will reach zero.  Ledger\
+makes this easy to do, using the same period transactions as are used for\
+budgeting.  An example forecast report can be generated with:\
+\
+@example\
+ledger --forecast "T>@\{\\$-500.00@\}" register ^assets ^liabilities\
+@end example\
+\
+This report continues outputting postings until the running total\
+is greater than $-500.00.  A final posting is always output, to\
+show you what the total afterwards would be.\
+\
+Forecasting can also be used with the balance report, but by date\
+only, and not against the running total:\
+\
+@example\
+ledger --forecast "d<[2010]" bal ^assets ^liabilities\
+@end example}
