: You say FM 7 will download data directly from mutual fund companies, brokerage firms, etc. Do you use a secure connection to do this? Does the data go thru your server? Can you address the security issues?

Hi Binc,

Good question, I should probably make this an FAQ.

The transaction retrieve utilizes a secure, encrypted connection between your
computer and your broker's OFX server. Nothing goes through our server.
This protocol is defined by the "Open Financial Exchange" specification, which
requires using a secure protocol (HTTPS). If you're really interested, you can
read more about OFX at:

Thanks,
Mark
