Accounting Software for Futures

TGregg · Mar 10, 2003

OK, Money sucks when it comes to futures. I've spent all afternoon trying to get this to work, and I'm ready for some serious drinking

. What are y'all using? Does it import easily from IB? And, if you use Quicken, does it handle futures well?

This one looks pretty interesting. And you can't beat the price (Free).

I havent personally used it, as I am too paranoid that it's spyware that will steal my account information (it retrieves trade history directly from the account).

Please post your experiences if you choose to give it a shot.

Thanks for all the pointers. I think I will try to roll my own, been a while since I cranked out any VBA. . .

I use GTT Trade Log and feel it is worth the money. I really like the various reports available to track my performance and the ease of importing data from my broker (IB).
