Greetings and Salutations

I'm looking for an alternative to Quicken when it comes to following my
investments. I would like to be able to import the historical data
accumulated through Quicken, and if possible set up a reoccurring
transaction of the sort "On [date], X dollars will be added to A, B & C
holdings at [date] prices."

at the very least, I'd like it to be able to fetch current prices, and
do the "usual" ROI reports, and such.

Any recommendations?

thanks in advance

'KBH Investor Accounting' is a software that accounts investor portfolios.
The software features a year-to-date mark-to-market profit/loss accounting
as a portfolio performance measure. The software also has an itemized
realized accounting of first-in-first-out transaction matching. And the
software will track short positions as well as long positions. In all the
software has a Portfolio book, a Register book, a Mark-to-Market book, a
Transaction input book, and a Realized book.

The software will process a download file of its own configuration. So a
developer could write a utility that takes data from some other accounting
software and create download files for 'KBH Investor Accounting'. (Also, a
full service broker could or might make download files for their
high-net-worth clients.)

'KBH Investor Accounting' is a record of user input. But if a mistake is
made then the back-up files can be installed to start over from a previous
point. And when input is found to be correct then that input can be
backed-up to kept the back-up files current. Finally, if an input mistake is
backed-up then the input can be corrected with a same-date same-amount
counter-balancing transaction which of course is an obvious situation.

Finally, there is a supplemental application for 'KBH Investor Accounting'
that can create a continuation sheet of one-line realized transactions and
that in the form of a text file that can be edited and printed.
