there have been many problems with price updates since you came away from yahoo.

I am having a lot of problems at present. A lot of my price updates are overrated or understand by 100-fold, presumably because the price has to be quoted in pounds or pence. That's fair enough but when I take action to correct the denominator and do an update a previously unaffected price then goes wrong! What is this about???

    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 have removed the Q & ER extension as I was also getting inaccurate data messing up the price history for some of the securities it could find data on. A major problem being that on some funds the prices keep switching back and forward between Pence and Pounds.

    I am using the free Quote Loader system, a collaboration between the two software developers Mike Bray and hleofxquotes.

    It provides an end to end solution, obtaining quotes from a choice of two sources and entering them into the relevant History window, all from a single window within Moneydance. The system can obtain Security prices, Exchange Rates, Market indices, Cryptocurrency Rates and prices for Cryptocurrency Investments. For UK user’s prices are consistent, no switching between Pence and Pounds and back again. It provides quotes for stocks and funds, from many stock exchanges US, Canada, UK, Europe and Australia to name but a few. The process of obtaining quotes from the selected source is fast and error free.

    All parts of the system use the Java installation provided with Moneydance. A separate installation of Java is not required. The system runs on Windows, Mac and Linux computers.

    Take a look at his thread and download the PDF outlining how to use the system. The PDF contains link to the system elements you will need to download was well as a link to a YouTube tutorial video.
