I am having the same problem, which I posted back in March without any
resolution. I'm reposting just in case any new info is available. Going back
to 2004 is not an option:

----------------------------

I'm using Money 2005 Small Business. I do some day trading (a lot of
transactions in one day) and when I try to download transactions from my
broker they are always imported into Money in the wrong order. For example,
I have an OFX with one day's transactions. The transactions appear in the
OFX in date/time order as follows:

buy
sell
short sell
cover short
buy
sell
short sell
cover short
short sell
cover short

However, when I import this OFX into Money and read the statement, the
transactions appear in this order:

sell
short sell
cover short
sell
short sell
cover short
short sell
cover short
buy
buy

When I try to accept the transactions Money starts adding phantom shares in
order to balance everything out. Note that this is not occuring because of
FIFO investment tracking. I can reproduce this with an empty money file with
a single investment account. Can anyone explain why this happens and if
there is any way to import the transactions in the correct order.

Thanks....

Just in case someone else had the same problems I had. I fixed the
problem by chucking out Money 2005 and using Money 2004.

I DLed an OFX file containing my trades. When I try to import it into
Money 2005 Standard, I have several problems.

1) It wants me to OK every trade. The way this broker's statment is
formated, each transaction is also reported. IE if I B 1000 MSFT:
bought 100 shares at 24.21, and 100 shares at 24.20. etc etc. Each
piece is reported. So for a trade of a 1000 shares I'm pressing NEXT
about 5 times for each side.

2) I imports the sells before the buys. This forces Money to add
shares. Which is distorting my position. Example: I buy 1000 CSCO
today and sell 1000. Money sees S 1000 CSCO. Adds 1000 shares of CSCO.
Sells 1000 CSCO. Sees B 1000 CSCO and adds 1000 shares of CSCO. And
it thinks I have a position in CSCO when I should be flat.


Any idea what I can do to deal with this problem?
