<p>If you click on the Stock Prices heading it takes you to the Edit Security Window which allows you to add or delete securities. You cannot delete a security if it is being used in Moneydance</p>
<p>If you click on a specific security it takes you to the security history window for that specific security.The order of the accounts is Alphabetic, there is no way to change this. You can do things like renaming account and placing say a number in the front of the name to force a specific sort order.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/483133102020-05-08T22:01:33Z2020-07-19T15:25:25ZRemove some stock prices / Account order in side bar<div><p>Thanks for the reply. Could you clarify what it means by "being used in Moneydance"? If I delete a particular securities, does this mean it removes all transactions related to this securities? I feel this "Stock Prices" window is rather confusing, if it does not allow me to delete a securities that I used to own, but not interested in any more.</p></div>Neotag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/483133102020-05-08T22:17:10Z2020-05-08T22:17:10ZRemove some stock prices / Account order in side bar<div><p>Being used in Moneydance means that the security in question, is at least associated with an investment account, and there could well be transactions associated with the security.</p>
<p>Yes if you remove a security it would delete all transactions involving that security, that would likely destroy the integrity of your accounts in the software. You cannot remove a security yet leave the transaction that involve that security in the accounts.</p>
<p>The problem with deleting securities that you used to own is that there are generally transaction in Moneydance for that security, by deleting those transactions it destroys data now those securities could well involve accounts that are still current and active hence it destroys the transaction history there and therefore throws the balance out.</p>
<p>Financial data builds over time and the position today reflects what has happened in the past, remove the past and the position it would show today is rubbish.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/483133102020-05-08T22:20:09Z2020-05-08T22:20:09ZRemove some stock prices / Account order in side bar<div><p>You can easily remove what is shown on the summary page, so you do not want to show a particular stock any more click on it in the Stock Prices window and in the window that comes up click on the Edit button, in the next window deselect he Show on Summary page checkbox.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/483133102020-05-08T22:37:33Z2020-07-19T15:25:25ZRemove some stock prices / Account order in side bar<div><p>Got it, thanks! It's just painful to remove the unwanted securites quote info manually one by one. Over the years there have been many of them.</p></div>Neotag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/483133102020-05-09T14:05:16Z2020-07-19T15:25:25ZRemove some stock prices / Account order in side bar<div><p>I want to add by saying that so far, my transition from Quicken to MD has been mostly smooth, except for some frustration in the very beginning, which is partially my fault for not looking into this a little deeper. Once I got the hang of it, I found it's not that bad at all, and start to like MD more and more. All my questions during the transition have been answered very nicely either by tech support or by other users, and this has been a deciding factor for me to make up my mind. Quicken starts to charge annual subscription now, which immediately turns me off, I'm sure more and more people are looking into staying away from Quicken now.</p></div>Neo
