Hi - IB displays this message when I check my statements - perhaps the fix they mention will take care of your problem....
Steve Warning: Some of the cost basis calculations displayed on your 2007 annual statement are incorrect and a new annual statement will be generated for US customers by 03/10/2008 and for non-US customers by 03/28/2008. The MTM & FIFO P/L calculations displayed are correct even for those transactions with an incorrect cost basis. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phsst" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 12:00 AM Subject: [amibroker] Re: OT: For Excel 2007 users > Thank you for the HotFix link.
