Greetings guys,

From the title, does anybody have a preference on which software is better to work with ? i.e. to show daily pos, p/l, charts, pos defined by sectors etc..

Thanks !

last time I tried, Quicken did not support intraday trades. Quiken would randomly reorder the trades on import, completely messing up what was long and short.

I gave up

Vikana:

As a position trader, trading options on the long side only, do you know or think it would work for my style of trading ?

Is futures also an issue with Quicken?

Or is there a better bookeeping system to work with IB ?

Thank you very much for your help and/or any suggestions you may have.

Both Quicken and MS Money sux. Quicken mess up on short and intraday as previous poster stated. Quicken doesn't pick up anything on Futures. I don't try forex, so I have no comment.

I read it from IB's forum, that Canadian gov't takes IB 1099 as sub for schedule D. I will to try to submit it to the IRS for my 2005 return. I hope they take it.

Can someone recommends other alternative?
