I have entered my cost basis (positive number) and the proceeds were lower so overall result is a loss.

Why would a positive number be called a negative number? Is there a digit limit? If yes, how to correctly enter large numbers.

There appears to be a digit limit when entering directly into the box for proceeds. The workaround is double-click the box and enter the value needed into the "supporting statements" section.
