I'm not sure if my problem is related, but I'm also seeing inconsistencies between how I thought the trades settled each other (as reported in the application on the days of the trades) and how they are settled by Penson. I haven't had enough time to exhaustively research this yet, but something is leading to discrepancies in end of day cash position reporting between what Quicken believes (with the downloaded data) and what is reported on the Penson site as end of day cash. The discrepancies start (for me) on Dec. 2nd, I'll go see if that was when I started shorting things... Good luck, Simon.

followup: Note to Short Sellers at Cybercorp Using the Penson web site, looking at the daily Equity statement, I have found errors on 4 days in May, 3 days in Aug., 5 days in Dec, and now 2 in Jan of 2000. I have reported the other dates to Cybercorp, and have recvd verbal word that I am due back funds for the original problem from December. While the problems appear to originate at Penson, we are in fact clients of Cybercorp. As such, I now really have to question all margin charges made in the past year. In addition, this effects what is reported to the IRS. The last thing I want to have to explain would be overstating my margin costs - even if its an error by my broker.
