<p>Can you state the version that you are using (Help > About Moneydance).</p>
<p>There have been significant changes to the way that txn files are handled in later versions of Moneydance. If you have an older version, you may be eligible for a free upgrade, or a 50% discount, depending on the version that you purchased (and whether you've already upgraded for free in the past).</p>
<p>You can check to see if you are eligible for a discount, or Free Upgrade at:</p>

As per the Blog:</p>
<p>"Since 2015 Moneydance has stored every change made to your files. While these changes didn’t take much space, they did result in many small files that could slow down the opening and closing of Moneydance. Moneydance 2019 will automatically compress and consolidate the older history in your data which can reduce file size by a decent amount, but the most significant change is probably the improvement of opening and closing your files.</p>

<p>IF it's free for you, you're all set. If you have to pay and you are not satisfied. MD offers a moneyback guarantee (If you purchase from the MD online store).</p>

<p>If you enter your license key in the link that I provided in my previous post, you can check your upgrade status.</p>
<p>Good Luck</p>

<p>Thanks for the help. I thought I was up to date on versions but somehow I was using 2017.10 instead of 2019.3. Updating the version really seems to have solved the issue.</p>

I have about 20 stocks that I like to get updated prices for. At one time this worked quickly, under a minute. But now it takes about 15-20 minutes to update.</p>

Hi Bod</p>
<p>Alpha Vantage have deliberately slowed down the process for obtaining quotes. There is nothing Moneydance can do about that.</p>
<p>If the Quote and exchange rate updater does not work well for you try the free third-party Quote Loader. Both of the sources in the Quote Loader have good coverage of worldwide securities.<br>
See post 205 at <a href="https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/investments/4039-quote-loader-securitycurrency-price-loader-for-moneydance-2019/page/7#comment_47493595">https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/investments/4039-quo...</a></p>
<p>Download the PDF attached to posts 205 and have a read. To get an overview take a look at the YouTube video by using the link on page 1 of the PDF.</p>
<p>Let us know how you get on or if you need help just post.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p></div>derekkent23
