Hi alk4477,

Are you asking about importing from the Captools software? If so, we have instructions and a helper spreadsheet here:

ok that worked well for transactions. is there something similar for holdings?

Hi alk4477,

No, but if you import all the transactions, you wouldn't need to import positions. The positions are determined by the sum of all your recorded transactions. Ideally you would import all the transactions back to inception, and then your current positions will be correct.

ok, some of my accounts go back 30 years so i was hoping to just start FM with this year. i will try going back to the beginning. tnx for the help.

Hi alk4477,

If you want to transfer only the last year's transactions you would need to import "positions" as of 1 year ago, and then all transactions from the next day forward. You can import a position using the generic transaction import, and just import a buy for however many shares you owned as of that date.
