How to manually update Unit Trust (Mutual Trust) prices
I am in the UK and some of my investments aren't available on Alphavantage so I need to update the prices manually. I am going into the investment account and adding today's price using the History button. My new price shows on the price history graph but my portfolio value isn't updating to the new price. If I am not making any further investments into a security how do I make it calculate my holding value based on the most recent price entered?
Thanks

Hi Steve,
Can you confirm that after clicking on the 'History' button, you are then updating the 'Current Price' field and then clicking the 'New' button?

I am not support staff, just a user.
I am a UK investor and have found that Alpha Vantage provide very poor support for UK/Irish/Luxenberg etc, domiciled funds.
I am using a stand-alone program that was originally developed to help out users of MS Money when Microsoft stopped supporting that product. The program is in java, like Moneydance and thus runs on Windows, Mac and Linux computers. The developer has adapted it to work with Moneydance and is actively supporting the program. This program is very stable and the quotes very consistent with the option of two sources, not Alpha Vantage. No strange prices. It has a lot of useful features. These include, obtaining prices from many stocks and fund quoted on different exchanges, US, Canada, UK, Europe and Australia. Alpha Vantage sometimes switches back and forward between Pence and Pounds. No such problem with the stand-alone program. The program has the ability to convert quotes from one currency to another. Convert prices in Pence to Pounds, if required, for UK stocks and funds. More features in the pipeline. Provide a means for importing all this data into Moneydance. You can also import exchange rates along with your security prices, if required.
Take a look at his thread and download the PDF outlining how to use the program and link to download the program.
