I have had Moneydance for several years. How do you get it to download quotes at the end of a trading day? I have gone to managing extensions and downloaded Quotes and Exchange Rated Downloaded. However I do not get any response. Also if I want to export my files so that I can have Quicken pick them up how do I do this? For investments only.

   I am not support staff, just another user.

   As Yahoo and Google have removed there free quote service Moneydance has been forced to switch to a new free provider Alpha Vantage.

   When running the extension Q & ER v1015 with later versions of 2017.6 or 2017.7 you should see the button “Set API Key” click and then click on “Get Alphavantage API Key”. You will be taken to the Alpha Vantage site to obtain a free key. Enter this key into the extension and select Alpha Vantage as the quote source.
   You can export a selected account in the QIF format using FILE - EXPORT

   In some regions and for some types of securities Alpha Vantage provides a poor service. If you find that no data is returned for some of your securities then try the free stand-alone program to obtain quotes and imports this data into Moneydance ,

   Hope this helps.
