General Discussion / Entering Buy/Sell Transactions

« Last post by chris319 on June 12, 2021, 11:11:23 PM »

Hello -

I spent many hours trying to manually enter transactions in Investment Account Manager. It had the curious behavior of automatically entering buy and sell transactions of the money-market fund whenever I bought or sold a stock/fund. I really don't like this. It was making up transactions I didn't enter and of which my brokerage has no record. Is there any way to defeat this behavior? It would be OK to credit or debit the cash balance in a way that is not visible to the user, but I don't want it entering transactions and dates for those made-up transactions that I and my brokerage didn't make. That's a non-starter for me.

Thank you.

Yes, you can add using the 'Other Investment' type, and then be sure to use the proper symbol as provided by QuoteMedia for the crypto currency you would like to track.  For example, use the symbol ~BTCUSD  for Bitcoin...

General Discussion / QuoteMedia prices for Cryptocurrency

The release notes for version 3.2.4 says:

added daily and historical QuoteMedia pricing for Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency

How does one go about adding Bitcoin (BTC) to the Current Asset Library?  I assume that would be the first step in getting daily prices.

Should there be a Cryptocurrency Security Type?  I've tried Other Investment, but that doesn't seem to be correct.

Thank you.

Transactions / Re: Transfer In - Acquired Date different than transfer date - correct mistake made

I suggest deleting that individual transfer(s), then edit the proper dates, and re-transfer.  As part of deleting the transfer, you'll be prompted to also delete the shares in the received portfolio.  If you have add'l questions, please contact our support team directly: techsupport@investmentaccountmanager.com, or give us a call: 262-241-3990.

Transactions / Transfer In - Acquired Date different than transfer date - correct mistake made

« Last post by TopDog on March 27, 2021, 06:49:12 PM »

I inherited an account that had a step up basis date of 8/20/19.  I received the account transfer on 5/19/20.  I went through the process of transferring in each lot and was able to get the transactions transferred in on 5/19/20 with a cost basis date of 8/20/19.   

I have since discovered that there were some lots that were added into the account after 8/20/19 due to dividend reinvestment that I added with a cost basis of the date of the original transaction when I think they should have been transferred with a cost basis of the transfer date (5/19/20).

Example: In inherited account: 9/4/19 - 37.187 shares of F acquired.  Transferred to the new account on 5/19/20, with a cost basis date of 9/4/19.

I would like to figure out how to change the cost basis date of this transaction from 9/14/29 to 5/19/20 since it was acquired after the 8/19/20 step up basis date.

Any ideas?  Thanks as always for your help.

Interactive Brokers does not provide direct OFX transactional downloads; however, you can download from their site directly the compatible file, and use this file to import into IAM. 

If you have any add'l questions, please let us know.

To update the 7Twelve index, use the Benchmarks Menu | Update History button.  This will update the 7Twelve for recent pricing and derive updated monthly performance returns.

General Discussion / Updating 7Twelve Index ?

I have the 7Twelve index in my asset library.   How do I get IAM to update the 'price' for that index?   If I have it try to get the price the way it does all others (just the update prices button) it reports it cannot find the index in the datasystem.

Why don't you support direct downloads from IB?

How do you reduce the basis of the stock by the credit received by the covered call?
