Re: 2 Year Plus Data Import from TD Ameritrade[ Message Board ] [ Archives ] [ Search ] Posted by Ernest M.

If you hit TDAmeritrade's front door and log into your account, the only download option is a text file. The order of the items in the list are different from any of the import options you offer. Why can't you reorder the items in the import list? Why not offer an option for this commonly-used broker?? Ernie : : You can import that data, but it will require some extra work on your part. You can leave it in a .CSV format for the generic import. Converting it to a .TRN or .QIF file would be very difficult. : You will either need to have all the transactions for each account in its own CSV file, or add a new column for the sub-portfolio name. You will also probably need to change the transaction codes to the ones that Fund Manager understands. The generic import is flexible, but requires you to tell Fund Manager how your data is formatted. For help on this, just go to "File / Import / Transactions / Generic..." and then press the "Help..." button. : If you have each account's transactions in a separate file, you don't need to use the "PORT" keyword. In this case you would need to manually create each account sub-portfolio before the import and then during the import specify which sub-portfolio you want all the transactions to go into. : If you put all accounts in a single file, you would need to specify a portfolio name in a new column and then use the PORT keyword in your import format string. Fund Manager will create the sub-portfolio for you in this case, using the name from your importing data in the PORT field. : There is quite a bit to using this command, so I'd suggest to read through the online help topic for this command, and if you have any questions email us your file as an attachment, and the format string you're using. I can help with the specifics. : Thanks,
