Mark, I made some tests with the reports that can be created in my Interactive Broker reports management page. There are daily and Monthly reports. Different report formats are offered and I found that some of them like MS money, Quicken and Gainskeeper look like OFX format, although no mention is made anywhere of OFX on the IB web site.
I can import transactions in FM with those reports, if I define the files as .OFX.
There are some problems though: The different currency transactions are not handled appropriately. Everything goes in the default US dollar Cash Investment, regardless of the CAD or Euro, whatever.
Is there a solution to this problem?
Also, the import function does not allow specifying OFX format with other file extensions, in this case IB generate reports with whimsical extensions, so I always have to change them manually.
IB is the account where I have the most transactions; I would really like to have complete automatic import of the transactions on this one.
