[GNC] GnuCash with Interactive Brokers

[Kalpesh Patel]

Ken, as Gyle mentioned, they are sibling to each other. In terms of
technical specs, QFX is modified OFX format which contains additional
Intuit's non-XML header but GNC treats them both equal as it simply ignores
that header. From the transaction wise they both will contain identical
data.

It doesn't "prefer" either, in fact the import is OFX/QFX.

 

Thank You,

Hi Kalpesh,

Thanks for your reply. IBKR offers these "Third-party Downloads":

1. Quicken Web Connect -> which generate a QFX file

2. GainsKeeper

3. TradeLog

4. MS Money -> which generates a OFX file


Do you know whether GnuCash prefers OFX or QFX?

I have downloaded both and will experiment with them.

Thanks,

Ken

download transactions in OFX (Open Financial Exchange) or QFX (Quicken
Financial Exchange) format. That would be the best format and I believe most
broker-dealers support that format as a download method from their web
portal.
