Quote from Peabo:
I keep a printed form (I created it in Word) for each trading day that shows all my activity, I just add in the costs for the commissions on it.
It is a rough estimate, but only until the next day until I receive the statement, which I synch up before the market open in the morning. Is it this reconciliation that you don't like to do?
I am very happy with MB Trading, because they excel in the areas that count.

Besides the Word approach you can also log into your account at MB, go to "Today's Activity", view your trades and have a ballpark on your P&L or click on the "Export to Excel" option to get the data in spreadsheet format.
Like you, I verify my trades (from the prior day) the next day before the open.
