Previously I was able to update stock prices automatically via an Extension using Yahoo data. I have not done this for some time and my investments have now changed substantially. Should I still be able to update automatically. I have tried to set this up, but the Help article refers to Alphavantage.co.uk which does not seem to be available to me on my extension. Should I be able to download stock prices automatically and if so how do I set it up, or is the problem that this is no longer supported on my version of Moneydance?</p></div>Kirk Aldersontag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489587282021-01-08T13:30:33Z2021-01-08T13:30:33ZUpdating security prices<div><p>Hi Kirk</p>
<p>Yes things have moved on and your old version of MD is not supported by<br>
the latest versions of the two solutions for this (Quotes and Exchange<br>
Updater and Quote Loader.</p>
<p>However there is an old version of Quote Loader that might do the<br>
trick, Go to <a href="https://bitbucket.org/mikerb/moneydance-2015/downloads/">https://bitbucket.org/mikerb/moneydance-2015/downloads/</a><br>
and download the file qlinstaller.mxt.</p>
<p>Start MD and make a backup of your file.<br>
Go to Extensions/Manage Extensions.<br>
Click on the button 'Add from file' and select the file you have just<br>
downloaded.<br>
You will be warned about an unsigned extension but it is OK.</p>
<p>If this installs try restarting MD and then running Quote Loader<br>
Installer. If it runs you should be presented with a screen that takes<br>
you through the install process. It is possible that your version of MD<br>
is too old, but we shall see.</p>
<p>If you are successful in installing it, restart MD and run it. There is<br>
a PDF on how to use the extension<br>
(Quote_Loader_System_by_Mike_Bray_and_hleofxquotesV64.pdf) that explains how to use it.</p>
<p>Good luck<br>

<p>Many thanks for your clear and comprehensive reply - much appreciated. I am very grateful for your suggestion, but think I might as well upgrade to the latest version now. Once again thanks for your help. Happy New Year to you.</p>
