<p>Menu -> Extensions -> Rhumba ...<br>
Then select tab "Test"<br>
Change line<br></p>
<pre>
<code>yahoo, IBM, AAPL, TSLA, EURUSD=X</code>
</pre>
to<br>
<pre>
<code>yahoo, BTC-USD</code>
</pre>
then click on 'Get Prices'<br>
Does it return something like this?<br>
<pre>
<code>BTC-USD, 3473.1, USD, 20190130, 30938088</code>

Yes Test>get prices returns exactly something like that. I checked my versions yesterday as I was upgrading the quoteloader system to 2019 (from 2017); 3005 for QL, 1051 for Rhumba and 240 for hleofxquotes.</p>
<p>If you look on Yahoo BTCUSD=X ticker last price is 15/1/2019 so they have stopped updating that ticker code. The only issue is someone using that BTCUSD=X ticker code in MD with the quote loader system will be updated with last price of 15/1/2019 and no more. It won't be obvious unless an MD user notices the last price date is not current or that their MD last price could potentially be some distance away from actual current market price.</p></div>gerardtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/468959062019-01-31T16:56:04Z2019-01-31T16:56:04ZYahoo change of Bitcoin and crypto ticker codes for quote loader price update<div><blockquote>
<p>And I waited a day to see the updated ticker code take effect on the quoteloader.</p>

<p>I am not clear now on current issue. Is problem that</p>
<ul>
<li>QL not getting price update for BTC-USD?</li>
<li>QL not getting price update for BTCUSD=X?</li>
</ul>
<p>If it is the latter, then I am afraid nothing much can be done.</p></div>hleofxquotestag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/468959062019-01-31T17:07:28Z2019-01-31T17:07:28ZYahoo change of Bitcoin and crypto ticker codes for quote loader price update<div><p>Apologies - I should have been clearer from the beginning - I don't think there is an issue with the quoteloader or MD. I was highlighting yahoo changing its 'live' ticker code for bitcoin and for me that change was not very obvious so I thought to mention it to others for information and also to correct me if I was wrong or not fully understanding. Those who continue to use BTCUSD=X will only get the last price as of 15 January from yahoo. I think it was just coincidence that it happened at same time as I was upgrading to 2019 but that's why I mentioned it.<br>
Thanks for your quick attention.</p></div>gerardtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/468959062019-01-31T17:51:56Z2019-01-31T17:51:56ZYahoo change of Bitcoin and crypto ticker codes for quote loader price update<div><p>I am not support staff, just a user.</p>
<p>Hi gerard</p>
<p>Take a look at the PDF<br>
Moneydance Quote Loader System Handling Cryptocurrencies and Market Indices V2.0<br>
From <a href="https://bitbucket.org/mikerb/moneydance-2019/downloads/">https://bitbucket.org/mikerb/moneydance-2019/downloads/</a></p>
<p>Just created a new data set base currency USD and used the steps in the PDF to obtain Bitcoins.<br>
Tested 2019.1(1855), see screen shot.<br>
The first release of this PDF was back in 30/8/2018 so the recommended approach when using Quote Loader has been around for some time.</p>
<p>Hope this helps</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/468959062019-01-31T17:53:14Z2019-01-31T17:53:14ZYahoo change of Bitcoin and crypto ticker codes for quote loader price update<div><p>screen shot</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/468959062019-01-31T18:07:18Z2019-01-31T18:07:18ZYahoo change of Bitcoin and crypto ticker codes for quote loader price update<div><p>@gerard, no need to apologize, we are good.
