: : I really like Fundmanager and want to own it. But there are a couple of problems. First, I trade/invest in both stocks and stock options. However, Fundmanager doesn't seem to support the internet download of options data. Can you support the download of options quotes from CBOE, for instance?

: : Second, my primary broker is Interactive Brokers, which gives me the option to download transaction data in Money OFX format. The problem is that when I import the OFX file into Fund Manager, commissions data are gone. Is there a way to fix this problem?

: Hi KC,

: Fund Manager will support retrieving any option prices that are available on any of our supported quote servers. You can visit them with a browser, and see if they offer the quotes you need. You can look up the required ticker symbol using your browser. For links to all our supported quote servers, please see:

: http://www.fundmanagersoftware.com/intrtv.html

: Does www.cboe.com offer option quotes not available on any of the currently supported servers? Can you give a couple examples? If so, we can consider adding support for them in a future release.

: Fund Manager does support importing commissions from OFX files. Where are you verifying that the commissions are gone? Do the commissions show up if you import the same OFX file into Money?

: Thanks,
: Mark

Hi, Mark,

Thanks for your prompt response. Money can read the commissions data when I import the same OFX file. And I still can't get any options quotes from the list of supported quote servers.
