None of my stock prices for which I have entered symbols have not been updating daily as I have requested in my investment set-up. As I looked over each of the charts for my individual stocks, MD has not been registering daily stock prices since July of 2017. Have there been some MD updates that I have missed?

    Hi Stan,

    The latest build of MD 2017 is currently 1691.
    The latest preview build of MD 2017 is currently 1701.
    The latest build of the Quotes & Exchange Rates updater is v1020.

    What builds and versions do you have?

    If you're interested, there is a free, third-party quotes downloader that is being developed by other Moneydance users. You can access a PDF file that provides the full details here:

    Hello Kevin,
    I have MD -11 which is apparently Version 2017.8 (1691) that is not the latest build. Is that my problem? I just requested a AlphaVantage (API ) code but it doesn’t seem to work.

    Hi Stan,

    I'm not sure what you mean by MD -11, but 2017.8 (1691) is currently the latest stable build of Moneydance.

    Make sure that you're using v1020 of the Q&ER updater.

    You should be prompted at some point to enter the API code into the Q&ER updater.

    Be sure to set the relevant drop-downs in the Q&ER updater to Alphavantage.

    Personally, I've given up on Alphavantage and the Q&ER updater. I've gone ahead with the system developed by the Moneydance users. It's far superior IMO.

    @Stan: I second the suggestion by Kevin N to forget about the AlphaAdvantage approach and use the third party quotes downloader that refers to. It's extremely easy to install and use and it works!

    I have released build 2110 of the Quote Loader (alternative to the Q&ER extension). This introduces automatic running. You can run the program daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly. Please read the Wiki at https://bitbucket.org/mikerb/moneydance-2015/wiki/Extensions and the pdf developed by Derek Kent which can be found with the program files in https://bitbucket.org/mikerb/moneydance-2015/downloads/
