Security price errors
I'm now using Alphavantage to update the prices on the securities I own. On about 2 out 3 times when I manually ("Update Now") update, out of 33 securities, I get 3 or more errors. Sometimes, maybe the next day, all prices will update with no error. Tonight I got 22 errors and 33 securities updated.
Is there a log of the errors? The update sometimes goes so quickly that I can't see which security had the error. If I knew which one it was, I could go in an do an individual update. If I'm really interested, I can look at each one in my portfolio and find out the last time the price was updated. But that gets tedious.

Yes, this has been happening again for the last couple weeks. Perhaps even worse now that I've updated to 2017.7.1

I am not support staff, just a user.
An update to the Q & ER extension to v1015 was released to fix the issue you are finding. Check for an update under EXTENSIONS – MANAGE EXTENSIONS.
If you are still facing problems when using v1015 the loose your frustration by trying a free standalone program.
The program 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 to name but a few. 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. The program list all the quotes found and if any cant be found these are listed to. No guess work interpreting the results. Running the program again will give the same results, you want be faced with the issues you are finding with the Q & ER.
Take a look at his thread and download the PDF outlining how to use the program and link to download the program. Post 77 in this thread.
