By using the transaction IDs supplied by FIs, OFX makes it possible that each transaction is downloaded only once.

If the user wants to download investment bank transactions (i.e., IncludeTransactions is set to True), a date range (that the transactions fall within) can be specified by setting the StartDate and EndDate. Otherwise, the server will use default values if no dates are supplied.

| Investment transactions (only within the specified start and end dates) including banking transactions, which are a combination of bank transaction detail records and investment transaction detail records. | |
| Open orders - current open trading orders that a user has at a brokerage. | This is stored in OpenOrders. |
| Positions - positions a user has at a brokerage. Each statement response must contain a complete set of position records, even if no transactions occurred in the requested statement period for a particular holding. | This is stored in Positions. |
