Hi everyone
I recently closed some positions I held at InteractiveBrokers, for which i 
have a nice API-based ingestion pipeline to beancount. However I noted lots 
of "No position matches"-Errors. 
Turns out, the reported cost basis / Trade prices  of the closed positions 
are very slightly off (by a handful of USD-cents) the reported cost basis 
at purchase. As a result, beancount can't match the lots. 


   1. Has anyone dealt with this specific issue with IBKR before?
   2. What would be your best practice?
      1. change the cost basis reported at opening time to match the cost 
      basis at closing time?
      2. change the cost basis reported at closing time to match the cost 
      basis at opening time?
      3. ...?
   
Below a sample pair of transactions, as i obtain them via the FlexQuery 
API.note the $172.74 vs. $172.86
Thanks for any hints!
