Clearly I am doing something wrong trying to let MD automatically update quotes. All I get is "unable to get quote...." for the securities. I have checked that the extension is current and updated. I do NOT have an API Key for TD Ameritrade so I was using Yahoo! Finance. What do I need to fix?

    The Quotes and Exchange Rates extension has not worked with Yahoo for quite some time and it is unknown if and when it will be fixed.

    Use Quote Loader instead.

    Thanks. It only loads some of the securities. No big deal, but hoping for a complete load. Also, is there a way to have it do it automatically when MD is launched?

    Hi Monty

    Yes you can set Quote Loader to do a Auto Run on Moneydance opening.

    Try the extension Quote Loader under EXTENSIONS – MANAGE EXTENSION

    For information on the features of Quote Loader and how to use https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/investments/7595-quo...

    Download the PDF’s attached to post 112 and have a read.

    To get an overview take a look at the YouTube videos by using the links on page 1 and 2 of the PDF.

    The Quick Start Video is intended to give a quick overview so the user can see if Quite loader looks like it could work for them. The Short Video expands the user’s knowledge giving more detail. The Full Video goes even further but may be too wordy for some.

    The PDF reinforces what’s leaned in the videos, provides step by step instructions, a must read and provide answers on how to handle less obvious issues some users may come across.

    Let us know how you get on or if you need help just post. If any securities return an error then post your base currency, the Ticker, full Security Name and last price you have and its traded currency or just post a screen shot of the Quote Loader windows after you click GET PRICES.

    Hope this helps.
