Thanks Mike and Dave,

I have tried several different combinations in the user configuration. Nothing has worked and I am getting frustrated. I searched for the ofxpy setup but couldn't find anything. Can you share a link for that?

I was able to connect to TDA via aqbanking, but never to successfully 
download anything that way.  I download in csv format, convert to a qif 
and then import to gnucash.  Kind of a pain but it works.  Didn't know 
about ofxpy.  Will look at that. Mike

And I still haven’t figured out how to consistently deal with the way they report the money market/clearing account transactions.

Maybe they’ll care enough about keeping my money to consider offering better digital service.
