No. Please see below.

The start balance is either taken from the last reconciliation or is
calculated based upon all reconciled transactions up to the statement date. I
would have to look up the exact algorithm in the code. The ending balance is
calculated by summing up all reconciled *and* cleared transactions up to the
statement date.

As the ending balance today takes those already into account there's no need
to do that.

But I think I understand what you're trying to achieve: you don't clear the
transactions before you receive the statement. Now you want to clear them in
one chunk, hence the projection using the non-cleared transactions and the
auto clear function. Something we could think about, but certainly post 1.0

In the meantime I suggest to take a look at

and add to it if there's something missing.
