IB and Quicken 2004

Quote from fleance:

I found that quicken really sucks if you have many trades or you have short sales or options when I tried it in 2000 and 2001. When I had 10000s of trades in 2000, quicken would just choke on that. Have they improved things in 2004?

No, still the same. I bought 2004 in the naive hope that they had fields for time-of-day. They still only have the day of the trade, and Quicken still re-orders the trades as they get imported. This completely messes up matching, short sales etc.

I don't think it's IBs problem; it's Quicken that doesn't do it right.

I ended up buying TradLog. The only thing that I found that works easily.
 
Quiccken is able to directly downloads Schwab transactions over the web, and I never had any sequencing problems with those transactions.

The method used to download Schwab transactions is different from that used by IB. Schwab is much more integrated with Quicken. Quicken appears to directly contact Schwab's servers and download the needed transactions.

It would be great if Quicken could download IB's transaction in as clean a manner.

TradeLog is a great program. I like using Quicken because I can integrate all my transactions (both trading and non-trading related) in reports.
