12 January 2025 For calculating the peak balance, should i consider the per day balance at the end of the day or after each transaction? Also, the statements reflects the posted balance for each day, should i include only the posted balance or the pending balance.

For example lets say, I deposit 100 dollars and take out 50 dollars - > the balance at the end of the day would be 50 but the maximum balance on that day would be 100. Which should be considered?

Consider 100 as it's the peak value.

12 January 2025 Thank you sir. Should I consider only the posted transactions or the pending ones need to be considered?
Also the statements have only the values at the eod. should I try to calculate myself after each transaction?

For the sake of convenience consider values at the EOD.
