[GNC] Fidelity and TD Ameritrade setup

[April]

Thank you for your information, Dave.

With your help, I managed to turn on the loging. I see this from fidelity.
Receiving response...

Unlocking customer "36"

Inside the log file:
<BANKACCTFROM>
<BANKID>fidelity.com
<ACCTID>account_number_here
<ACCTTYPE>MONEYMRKT
</BANKACCTFROM>

Wondering if it got to do with ACCTTYPE.

Anyone has any ideas?

Thanks
Ada
