Fidelity Cash+

Question

Quicken is randomly automatically entering downloaded transactions into my Fidelity Cash+ account. I don't even see the transaction in the downloaded transactions window. I just open up the account and there they are. And they enter as cleared transactions. Is there a way to stop this from occurring? It is annoying.

@joturnage does the Venmo transaction have a reminder?

No pattern that I can tell. I can say that Venmo transactions seem to get messed up. I will enter (a day prior for example) an upcoming Venmo transaction and when the account data downloads I end up with the Venmo transaction I entered and cleared (all by itself) but I also end up with the same Venmo transaction in the downloaded transactions window (with the word Match) and then I end up with TWO Venmo transactions—the one I entered the day before (cleared not by me but automatically) and then a "generic" Venmo transaction that is also cleared once I select Accept.

Tell us more about these transactions.  Is there any similarity, or pattern?  Any consistent date, or day of week?What money market fund actually holds the cash in the brokerage account?
