The new Quote Loader
TIK has improved the security on the use of unsigned extensions. This is in build 1899 which is still in preview mode. Once it is released for general use you will see a warning message on the summary screen if you are using unverified extensions. This included all of my extensions. I have worked with TIK to get my extensions verified which includes Quote Loader. These are now available on my repository in https://bitbucket.org/mikerb/moneydance-2019/downloads/.
To verify an extension I have had to make my source code available to TIK. The author of the back end of Quote Loader (hleofxquotes) was not prepared to do this and thus I have redesigned Quote Loader to be standalone. I would like to thank hleofxquotes for his work and help in making Quote Loader an extension of choice.
I have asked TIK to add Quote Loader to the list of available extensions. This is being considered.
DerekKent23 has written/updated a PDF on how to install and set up Quote Loader. This is accompanied by a couple of videos. These assume Quote Loader has been added to the list of available extensions. Before that list is updated please download the file securityquoteload.mxt from my repository (https://bitbucket.org/mikerb/moneydance-2019/downloads/) and add it using the MD Extensions/Manage Extensions/Add from File. The updated PDF will be available shortly.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON MY WIKI (https://bitbucket.org/mikerb/moneydance-2019/wiki/Home) ABOUT UPGRADING FROM THE OLD VERSION OF QUOTE LOADER. YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE RHUMBA EXTENSION.

Hi Mark
Mike Bray has got back to me. He has fixed the historical data bug in 3057 and I have run some tests. A new build 3058 has been summited to Sean the Moneydance developer for signing and making available in due course under Extensions.
Hope this helps.

Hi, I have a stock DGCFX that is not being updated in MD even though Quote loader downloads a new price from FT OK. When I look at the 'history' graph I see the only time the price changes is when I enter a transaction. When I look at any other stock I see that the price changes every week when I run QL. I tried updating the latest QL with no change. Digging further I find that this stock is listed correctly with the latest value when I look at my Portfolio in the 'Graphs and Reports' section of MD, but is not updated in the 'Security Performance' graph in Graphs and Reports.
So it seems that different area's of MD use different stock valuation lists. Yet it is only this one stock. So this suggests that the issue is with MD not QL I am using MD 2022.5 (4091). Any suggestions on how to fix this.

Hi yardy
One possibility if the same Security has been set up more than once under TOOLS – SECURITIES.
Take a look. If you see the same ticker used for more than one security even if the security name is different then this is the issue. Report back.
Hope this helps.

Derek, You are brilliant !!! - Thank you. That is exactly what I found looking at the Securities list under Tools. Any suggestion how to fix this - do I just delete the one that is not getting updated ? Or can I merge the two files - if so how.
Update.
I found another discussion thread that you answered some years ago and where you suggested changing the name of the 'bad' security to xx-bad and then going through the register changing all the xx-bad transactions to xx and then removing the xx-bad security. It worked fine - thank you again for all the fine support you give to MD users even if you are 'Not Support - Just another User'.

FWIW there is a merge function in the Toolbox extension that should also address this.

Hi yardy
Glad you got it sorted.
Although as you found my old method works Stuart the developer of the extension Toolbox has included a merge duplicate securities feature,
Have Fun, Stay Safe.

Any chance of having the quote loader auto run every time Moneydance is opened. I know it does it the first time, but would be nice if it updated each time the application is opened. Accounts download each time the app is open with the download in background option selected, but quotes are only refreshed one time a day. Thanks Love the extension.

Once Quote Loader has a price for date it will not update that price, it has not been designed to update intra day pricing, which is what you would seem to want.
