Would you like to investigate the truth? This would involve
collecting a log file of an OFX session where you download such a
buy or a sell. If you want to do that, identify which Money program
you are using, and I can post the technique.


Perhaps you misunderstood Sherrie, or Sherrie was wrong.

That is hard to believe. No, wait. That is bull. If nothing else,
you would enter the option expiration yourself, if it somehow did
not download.

Well this is a crock. I cheked with the broker, they said (as expected) that
they just send the data. Money manages and formats the information. So I
called MS. Turns out that's the way it is, according this a rep named
Sherrie. I have a hard time believing that.

Also, I have options that expire, e.g. covered calls. When they expire,
they don't dissapear from my portfolio and say on forever, screwing up the
value.

She said that's the way it is for that too. What a piss poor product.

OK. You are talking about Buy and Sell of stocks using the
settlement date. It is not that way with most brokers. It is common
for the sweep transactions to and from a money market fund to be
dated for the settlement date, but it is not common for the dates
for the stock Buy and Sell to be the settlement date. I am surprised
that I have not noticed somebody commenting on that before.

BrownCo has servers that provide the transactions, including the
dates, to Microsoft Money.

Not really. It's always been that way. I tried reinstalling everything and
starting over but it's the same.

In the United States, the transaction date should be used. What
broker are you talking about?

Default Investmnet transactions by tx date vs. settlement date?

When I download broker transacitons, they appear to be recorded base dupon
the settlement date rather than the transaction date. This can confuse me as
the difference is up to 5 days (sometimes seems like more). Is there a way
to set the default to record and track transactions by the trade date rather
than the date the trade settles?
